Recreqtion Use of Notionql Forests ln 1953 lncreosesT Per Cent Over lg12

Outdoor recreation on the national forests drew a record number of visitors in 1953, the U. S. Department of Agricuture annonnced.

Reports from Forest Service field offices show visits made during 1953 totaled 35,400,00, an in.crease of 7 per cent over visits in 1952 and a 97 per cent increase since 1951, the highest pre-war year. Not counted in the total are an estimated 90 million sightseers who drove over forest highu,ays to enjoy forest scenery and spe,ctacular views.

Based on sample counts, approximtely 8,680,000 recreationists listed picknicking as the primary purpose of their visit. Fishing drew 6,803,000; hunting, 3,161,000; camp- irg, 1,881.000; winter sports, 1,838,000 and swimming, 1,104,000. -\bout 9,285,00O listed general enjoyment of iorests as their primary objective. Other visits were for hiking, riding. canoeing, organization camping, and rvilderness travel.

The almost 100 per cent increase in use of camp and picnic ground fa,cilities has caused severe overcrowding in many of the 4,300 national forest camp and picnic areas. \\'ith increased use these areas have to be cleaned up more often. Improvements such as tables, benches and fireplaces are wearing out and sanitary facilities are overtaxed. Campers and picnickers overflow the designated areas and use land on which no facilities are provided.

To help with this problem, the Forest Service urges national forest visitors to leave the forest clean and neat for the next visitor. That will permit use of funds for repair and upkeep of worthwhile improvements rather than for picking rlp papers, cans and trash.
