Talk:United States Forest Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There should be a note about criticism of the National Forest Service compared to the state forest services http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/reg17n1-leal.html

[edit] just another logo

Hello,

there's right another US Forest Service emblem on the commons, it's much more colorful and lovely ;-)

perhaps you might want to use it.

[edit] Official Name

Many people, including agency employees and retirees, refer to the agency as the "U.S. Forest Service." That is not correct. The official name of the agency is, simply, "Forest Service." To distinguish it from agencies, such as the Texas Forest Service, one should use "USDA" in front of "Forest Service."

The reason the article has "United States" in front of "Forest Service" is due to the international scope of Wikipedia. Since other countries have Forest Services or similarly named entities, we have to distinguish what country we are talking about. Feel free to edit the article itself and state the common naming as known by most persons.--MONGO 17:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
