Abstract: Opportunities to participate in outdoor recreation will become increasingly important in the future.
This broad outline emphasizes the urgent need for co-ordinated planning by all concerned with the management of recreation on public and private lands. Forests are an important recreational resource and this paper does no more than attempt to provoke further thought and encourage co-operation; it does not attempt to suggest how people should use forests.
The national duty is to provide recreational opportunities, without ignoring the responsibility to preserve natural resources.
