Forests provide an array of benefits to human societies above and beyond their pivotal roles as habitat and environmental regulators in natural ecosystems. These benefits are often described as resources that people can draw upon for fuel, lumber, and recreational or commercial purposes. The perception that forests provide resources for people has been a prominent factor in spurring efforts to preserve forests. The signs that welcome traveling tourists at the entrances of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire read “Entering the White Mountain National Forest: land of many uses.” When the U.S. government set up the National Forest system, it was eager to communicate that the land was not simply being taken out of commercial development; rather, there were many practical and productive reasons for many parts of the world have seen drastic deforestation in order to exploit forest resources or to further other economic ends, and have also seen more recent efforts to rehabilitate forests and the resources that they provide. The history of forest resource management in the United States probably provides the largest and most complete account of how thinking about forest resources has evolved in the industrialized world. Therefore, the following historical discussion is focused on the stages of forest resource management in America.

The first stage of forest resource management in the United States can be called the age of forest exploitation. During the nineteenth century, many more trees were cut down than were allowed to grow nationwide. By the turn of the century, only one fifth of the land was covered with mature forest east of the Mississippi River. Faced with this scarcity, the public began to fear a shortage of timber. This scarcity was exacerbated by large, uncontrolled forest fires that followed after the indiscriminate cutting. In the early 1900s, much of the forests of the eastern United States consisted primarily of stumps, seedlings, and saplings; and large trees were unusual. The photographer and forester Fred W. Besley (1872–1960) of Maryland took a large number of photographs showing people posing next to large trees because such a posing opportunity had become special and rare. However, Besley’s interests in large trees helped to awaken the public’s awareness of the plight of the forests and the desirability of mature forests.
