Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Forest Supervisor Tyler responds to Schuyler Colfax Hain on the question of whether the Pinnacles Division should be eliminated from Monterey National Forest. Tyler notes that the Government has already taken steps to preserve Pinnacles in the form of Pinnacles National Monument. Pinnacles should be removed from the National Forest because there is no commercial value of timber on the land, it is sparsely grazed, and it is not a significant part of the Chalone Creek watershed. Tyler promises to forward Hain’s letter–which pointed out that if Pinnacles is removed from the Monterey Forest there will need to be action to continue the State Game preserve–to the District Forester.

Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Forest Supervisor Tyler responds to a letter from Schuyler Colfax Hain that he received upon returning from a trip into the field. Tyler informs Hain of the reasons why the Monterey National Forest service pressed for the elimination of the Pinnacles Division from the National Forest. The recommendation included the preservation of the area through the establishment of Pinnacles National Monument, with the surrounding land neither being current nor future forest land, having scarce grazing, and experiencing little watershed impact. Tyler has not heard back on the final disposition of the Pinnacles, and will forward Hain’s letter to the District Forester regarding the perpetuation of the State Game Preserve if the Pinnacles Division is removed.
