INTRODUCTION
Chapter 4 is made up of two parts. Part 1 describes
design principles common across the Nation
for our built environment. Part 2 describes
architectural character based on ecological
and cultural influences in eight separate geographic
provinces. The term province is used here to
distinguish it from a Forest Service region.
A province combines common elements from
both ecological and cultural influences.
The resulting geographic areas may cross,
combine, or split the Forest Service regional
boundaries.
