The goals and objectives included in the Strategic Plan are developed from natural resource trend data (Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act) and public input such as the results from this survey. The purpose of this report is to present results from the second version of this survey (RMRS-GTR-95). A random sample of the American public was asked about their objectives for the management of public lands and beliefs about the role the USDA Forest Service should play in fulfilling those objectives. Major findings include, but are not limited to: (a) The public sees the protection of ecosystems and habitats as an important objective and role for the agency; (b) There is a lack of support for developing new paved roads; (c) Managing motorized recreation is a high priority objective; (d) There is support for allowing diverse uses; (e) On average, the public is neutral with respect to expanding energy and mineral production, timber production, and livestock grazing; (f) Reducing the spread of invasive species is supported; and (g) Using management tools to reduce wildfires is an important objective and an appropriate role for the agency. 517 $aAmerican public's objectives and beliefs regarding forests and grasslands 606 $aForest policy$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aForest management$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aGrasslands$xManagement$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic lands$xManagement$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 615 0$aForest policy$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aForest management$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aGrasslands$xManagement$xGovernment policy$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic lands$xManagement$xGovernment policy$xPublic opinion. 701 $aShelby$b Lori B$01384886 712 02$aRocky Mountain Research Station (Fort Collins, Colo.) 801 0$bEJB 801 1$bEJB 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697357303321 996 $aThe American public's objectives and beliefs regarding forests and grasslands$93539606 997 $aUNINA
