Miracle of the Forest When you walk into a National Forest, you really believe you’re the first person who’s ever been here. Funny thing is ,you’re not. These forests have been used for over a hundred years. From this timber stand (堆木场),settlers used wood to build their homes. And ties (枕木)were cut for the railroad. Hard to believe, isn’t it? But that’s the Miracle of the Forest. With careful management these forests have renewed themselves, year after year providing us with all kinds of benefits. And that’s why we call them "Forever Forests".Come to see for yourself! And get involved with the new “Forests For Us” program and tell people all about the Miracle of the Forest.
