"National Forest land is best managed as a contiguous parcel. Little isolated holdings do not add value to them, by and large. The parcels I'm aware of get no management attention at all and are simply held on the books and maps." There are exceptions to every rule. The forest service might want to maintain an urban plot for environmental reasons, training or advertising. Those types of decisions should be conscious ones. The idea of selling off assets to fund a year's worth of program spending is a bad one. Selling our assets to fund current spending is a downward spiral. If they want to sell and, lock the money into a purchase trust.
