Part of the Department of Agriculture, the USFS manages the use of forests
such as El Yunque. National forests are less protected than parks, allowing commercial ex-
ploitation in some areas (usually logging or privately owned recreational facilities). Current
information about national forests can be obtained from ranger stations (contact informa-
tion is given in the individual forest sections of this topic).
