Advancements in information and technology have allowed public knowledge to disseminate exponentially faster then before. As a result, the previously small, exclusive, elite class of scientists and policy-makers concerned with environmental matters has shifted to include the greater population. The public has become involved in environmental management and policy now more than ever through grassroots movements, forestry careers, and educational opportunities. Interests beyond the planned use of natural resources have been recognized as legitimate reasons for guiding environmental decision-making, including wilderness, aesthetic, cultural, and climate interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/library.nau.edu\/speccoll\/exhibits\/scaexhibits\/forestry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/scaexhibit81-1024x498.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.nau.edu\/speccoll\/exhibits\/scaexhibits\/forestry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/scaexhibit81-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/library.nau.edu\/speccoll\/exhibits\/scaexhibits\/forestry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/scaexhibit81-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/library.nau.edu\/speccoll\/exhibits\/scaexhibits\/forestry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/scaexhibit81-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/library.nau.edu\/speccoll\/exhibits\/scaexhibits\/forestry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/scaexhibit81.png 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/cdm16748.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/nauarch\/id\/694\/rec\/1\">Aerial photography of Northern Arizona University campus and the San Francisco Peaks. 1987.
