Sec. 532. Roads and trails system; Congressional findings and
declaration of policy
The Congress hereby finds and declares that the construction and
maintenance of an adequate system of roads and trails within and near
the national forests and other lands administered by the Forest Service
is essential if increasing demands for timber, recreation, and other
uses of such lands are to be met; that the existence of such a system
would have the effect, among other things, of increasing the value of
timber and other resources tributary to such roads; and that such a
system is essential to enable the Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter
called the Secretary) to provide for intensive use, protection,
development, and management of these lands under principles of multiple
use and sustained yield of products and services.
