National Forest Service Websites

02 July 2003

Your tax dollars at work over and over and over again. We’ve been scanning all the national forest websites, looking for trail and camping info. For instance – Olympic National Forest - Olympic Peninsula Washington, and the Okanagon National Forest, and the Gifford Pinchot, and the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie.

Now as a taxpayer, I love all this info online, it is a great resource. But do we really need to have completely different website designs and architectures for every single national forest? This is just a sample of the forests near us, how much redundant effort is happening nationwide?
