A State Forest

National Forest Last autumn, I decided to cross the national forest during the trip. This huge forest enriches the countryside not far from the town until the Indians still have the right to hunt. Small streams, ancient trees, shadow trails, and hidden places are some physical attributes that make national forest an attractive place. I enjoy a quiet environment while slowly walking down the dark street. Only the company's bird song felt I was completely isolated from the crowd and traffic when I walked through the deep carpet.

The forest once covered about 95% of the state of Michigan, but about half of today's state is covered with forests. However, the area covered by forests varies from region to region. 21% of the southern part of the lower peninsula is occupied by plaque forests and wetlands, but 65% of the North Peninsula and 84% of the upper peninsula are covered with wide forests. In each area, glacial topography, climate, soil, and modern history combine to create various forest habitats (Table 1). Plant various types of forests in these unique habitats

Michigan has 7.2 million acres of state and federal forest for outdoor recreation. National forest accounts for 59% and national forest accounts for 41%. The provincial and federal wilderness areas are a total of 322,000 acres in size. At this land base you can enjoy camping, hiking, skiing, lake fishing on streams and inlands, hunting berries and mushrooms, cycling, horse riding and more. There are many tourism related activities in the forest. In 2000, tourists spent $ 8.8 billion. Most of them were used in forest-dependent counties.

The forest covers 766 million acres of the United States and forest owners of private lands, communities, provinces and tribes manage 445 million acres or two thirds of the forest. These non-federation forests and their owners, and 130 million acres of public urban forests contribute to the quality of life of all Americans and contribute to the quality of life of water, fish and wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, rainwater Management, and energy supply. The higher the pressure, the more. Protection, public health benefits, open natural areas and forest products
