A 1991 analysis of United States Forest Service district rangers'' and forest supervisors'' responses to 13 attitude, value, and preference questions replicated from a 1981 study of the Forest Service found significant changes in the attitudes and values of individuals occupying these field-level line officer positions. Forest Service line officers today are less inclined than they were a decade ago to favor commodity resource outputs from national forests, such as timber and livestock forage, and they are more inclined to favor increased noncommodity uses of national forest resources such as recreation. Line officers today also express a significantly greater degree of environmental concern than 10 years ago. These changes in employee attitudes and values could have significant implications for the implementation of future national forest policies, large-scale organizational change, and the profession of forestry.
