Not true. Lots of National Forest land has campgrounds, maintained trails, wildlife protection areas, etc. There is also lumber harvesting. It's for many different kinds of use.

Sure but the dominant use and the purpose of the system that was set up is harvesting.

I’m not saying it’s what I’m advocating for it’s just an explanation of the difference.

The US forest service is quite literally a division of the department of agriculture.
