When the National Forests were Established in 1906...

This was the philosophy of how the forests were managed. Don't you wish it was still managed like this?

Just follow the rules.

From my 1920 USFS map of Angeles NF (San Bernardino NF)

1. Matches - Be sure your match is out before you throw it away. Matches whose heads glow after the flame is out are dangerous.

2. Tobacco - Throw pipe ashes and cigar or cigarette stumps in the dust of the road, and stamp or pinch out the fire before leaving
them. Don't throw them into brush, leaves, or needles.

3. Making Camp - Build a small camp fire. Build it in the open, not against a tree or log, nor within 20 feet of standing brush. Scrape away
the trash from all around it.

4. Leaving Camp - Never leave a camp fire, even for a short time, without quenching it with water and then covering it with earth.

5. Bonfires - Bonfires are not permitted on the Angeles National Forest

6. Fighting Fires - If you find a fire, try to put it out. If you can't, get word of it to the nearest US Forest Ranger or State Fire
Warden at once. Keep in touch with the rangers.

Note: Camp Fire Permits must be obtained from Forest Officer before camp fires may be built on National Forest Lands.


It's interesting to note that 90% of the area within the ANF (SBNF) boundary on this map is a designated Game Refuge.
Before killing anything in this area, you must first secure written permission of the Board of Fish and Game Commissioner
