The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is a Federal agency that manages public lands in national forests and grasslands. The Forest Service is also the largest forestry research organization in the world, and provides technical and financial assistance to state and private forestry agencies. Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the Forest Service, summed up the purpose of the Forest Service—"to provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run."

4723028	coral reef		This small atoll lies some 200 miles ESE of Pohnpei. It has a carrying capacity of about 200 people, who farm taro intensively as a staple food.

4723025	coasts and oceans		View of part of the east side of the Island of Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, showing the extensive stands of Tangan-tangan that resulted from the seeding of the island with Tangan-tangan (Leucaena leucocephala) seed obtained in the Philippines. The treee is a native of Central America, and was probably introduced to the Philippines by the Spanish as a result of cattle importation. U.S. miltary forces did the aerial seeding after the horrific Battle of Saipan (July 1944), that resulted in the almost complete destruction of island vegetation. This view is from the Laderan Tangke Trail, and shows the Bahia Fanonchuluyan, with the top of Isleta Maigo Fanang (Bird Islet) visible at center. During the Japanese occupation (1914-44), the flatter areas in this image were planted in sugar cane. March, 1990; 145 degr. E Long.; 15 degr. N. Lat.
