Description
"You will be working with a team of four people who have been selected to decide the fate of a forest newly designated as a National Forest.

Should it be used for recreation? Set aside as a wilderness? Logged for timber? Or a combination of things?"

  • A hidden "right answer" comes out in the Conclusion
