Abstract

All but a few states have begun planning and most are well along. The aim usually is to provide direction for the state forestry agency in forming a program that responds to resource issues of most concern to the public. Efforts are hampered by lack of inventory data, by difficulty in deciding what issues are most important, and by imperfect coordination with the national effort being made under the Resources Planning Act. Substantial progress is nevertheless being made.
