Abstract
Aspen forests of the Rocky Mountains have been a much appreciated, but generally neglected, resource. The fall color of aspen groves is an awe-inspiring scenic attraction. Their value for wildlife browse and cover is widely recognized, as is their ability to stabilize soils. Further, wood and fiber products made from aspen contribute uniquely to National needs. In short, aspen forests are a recognized asset to the Rocky Mountains and the Nation as a whole. Unfortunately, there is no assurance that we will continue to benefit at the desired level from this species, unless ways are found to manage it more actively.
