ASSIGNMENT NO.6

--Go to NETSCAPE and go to OPEN FILE and type:
http://www.fs.fed.us/
This will get you to the U.S. Forest Service Home Page.
--Go to SEARCH and you are to search for two (2) topics dealing with forest management found in Chapter 7. Suggested topics could include things like--forest fires, national forest management, outdoor recreation, Georgia National Forests, big horn sheep, boreal toads, Douglas fir, hiking, backpacking, timber, clearcutting, sustained yield, Rio Grande National Forest, elk, fishing, whitewater rafting, etc.

1. Do three (3) things for each of the two topics:
(1) Title, http address, summary of site (abstract)
(2) Relate to course and concepts discussed, i.e. multiple-use
(3) Opinion--good, bad, why, etc.
--Go back to USFS Home Page and click on "Fire" and find a site of interest and
2. Do same as in #1 above.
--Go back to USFS Home Page and click on "Directory". Click on Forest Service Directory. Go to Region 8--Southern Region. Find my sister-in-law, Elizabeth Estill and:
3. Write down stuff about her--especially her title, etc.
--Go on down the long list of positions below her name and:
4. List the job titles or positions (i.e. landscape architecture, mining law and geologic service, hydrology and cooperative watersheds) The reason for this is to see what personnel in the forest service do and more about this multiple-use idea. I think I heard my sister-in-law say that she has 4000 employees working under her. Also some of you might be interested in working for the USFS one day.

6. What was it? Give title and summarize research topic and relate to class especially the multiple-use concept.
--Go back to USFS Home Page and "Other FS Sites" (ie Tall Timbers Research" or Great Outdoor Recreation Pages (GORP) or National Forest Recreation Association, etc.) and :
7. Find one you are interested in and give title, summarize, relate as before.
--Go back to USFS Home Page and click on "Human Resources" and just look over Job Opportunities.
