Side by Side A Practical Guide for Neighbors of the Forest Service

 

The old saying is that it takes two to tango.  Indeed it does when it comes to neighbors and other interested parties who need to deal with the USDA Forest Service.  But it is very hard to tango with an 800 pound Gorilla!

This book attempts to help balance that relationship by providing the folks who need to deal with the Forest Service, a to a lesser degree other Federal land management agencies, with some practical advice, some easily obtained resources and some simple information that helps make that Gorilla seem a little less threatening.

Whether you need a permit to use a picnic shelter for a birthday party or you want to acquire that section of land that the agency owns next to your ranch, this book will help you.  It is short, to the point and organized so that you can find what you need quickly.  In addition, there are real-word examples and practical references given for each section.  For those who need to dig deeper to solve their problems, readers are guided to additional resources.

Side by Side can help you make dealing with the Forest Service seem less threatening, less intimidating and lead to a more productive and peaceful relationship.
