Forest Supervisor Barrett responds to Chief Forester Pinchot’s request for further information on the Lassen Peak region by describing further why he believes the points of interest near Lassen Peak should be particularly protected as National Monuments. Designating these areas as National Monuments will allow for greater selectivity than designating the entire region as a National Park, and Barrett believes this will be more palatable to people living in the region as it will not impede the use of the land for timber or grazing. Further, the area can be cared for by Forest Officers with little additional expense.
