The US Forest Service was envisioned as having stewardship on the National Forests as Natural Resources on the designated federal lands for the primary purposes of forestry and protection from unscrupulous logging. National Forests are managed for multiple purposes such as management of the soil, minerals, water, plants, and wildlife. Logging is contracted out to commercial businesses by timber sales. This mission makes the management of the National Forests and Grasslands different from those of other federal agencies. However, there remain many similarities in the operational and management policies of the agencies that manage large tracts of federal land. For example, the Wilderness Act of 1964, as amended, required all federal agencies to inventory and recommend remaining roadless areas for designation under wilderness protection.
