Acting District Forester Headley writes to Stanford University Professor Dudley regarding an earlier letter from Frederick Erskine Olmsted about the preservation of the Pinnacles area and its removal from Monterey National Forest. Headley points out that one of the reasons for the inclusion of the Pinnacles in the National Forest was to help ensure the protection of the area, but since the preservation goal has been secured by the designation of Pinnacles National Monument, the administration of the area as part of the National Forest is no longer necessary.
