Summary

The San Bernardino National Forest, located in Southern California, was established in 1893. Previous to the forest's creation, the area was used excessively for mining, timber production, and grazing. These uses put extreme stress on the land to the point where a Forestry Board report stated "the necessity of the hour is an intelligent supervision of the forest and brush lands of California, with a view to their preservation" [1]. The national forest now encompasses around 672,701 acres of United States Forest Service land and 151,341 acres of designated wilderness. [1]
