INFORMATION ABOUT FORESTS ON WASHINGTON STATE LANDS
- Capitol Forest.
A state owned, second growth forest bordering West Olympia, just south of Evergreen State College. Check out the history page. http://www.capitolforest.com/index.html
- Washington State Department of Natural Resources. This site covers state owned forests (under the direction of the state Land Commissioner). It has a ton of information regarding the use and preservation of forests that the state has allocated for the generation of income for schools, mental health services, and other state institutions. Notice the care taken to include recreation, forest products, and scientific/preservation information (a big change from the 1980s). http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Pages/default.aspx

II. FORESTS ON NATIONAL LANDS
- USDA Forest Service has links to all National Forests http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/map/state_list.shtml
- National Forests in Washington each have their own webpage and the differences between them are interesting. The Mount Baker-Snoqualmie site shows a timber sale map, marked with cut and no-cut areas (see Decline Thin Timber Sale). It also celebrates the state’s newest wilderness area, Wild Sky, about an hour east of Seattle in the Cascades. Many of the sites show detailed reports on public meetings and public projects.

III. INDIA: HISTORY AND ECOLOGY
Maps of India
There are many places to see maps of India. Our Library is one of them. On the web,
you will find a variety of political, historic, and topographical maps at http://www.mapsofindia.com/
It includes a state-by-state overview of open and dense forest locations (these terms are not clearly defined but you will get some idea of the terrain) http://www.mapsofindia.com/forest-maps/index.html
Historical timelines
There is much debate about early Indian history. You may need to look at several sites if you
want to see the range of opinion about the first civilizations and their
origins.
- This webindia site offers a relatively mainstream account http://www.webindia123.com/history/ANCIENT/index.htm.
- Wikipedia offers a more detailed account, including terms
and assumptions that reflect recent scholarship and debates http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India - This TamilNation article called Rewriting Indian History - Hindu Timeline, reflects several critiques of
the dominant historical scholarship, put forth most often by Hindu
nationalists. http://www.tamilnation.org/heritage/hindutimeline.htm
