During the gold rush, the area that would become the Stanislaus National Forest was a busy place, occupied by miners and other immigrants, homesteaders and ranchers, dam builders and loggers. Several railroads were constructed to haul logs out of the woods. Evidence of these activities still exist.
HERITAGE RESOURCES
During your visit to the National
Forest you may encounter archeological and historic sites and artifacts.
Like a jigsaw puzzle, each artifact and site, no matter how seemingly
insignificant, helps tell the heritage story. Please help preserve these
remnants of our past by not disturbing or harming them. 
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Information on firearms use, Forest Orders, rewards and
County
Sheriff contacts.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Forest Service land management is based on
three principles: preservation, biodiversity, and
sustained development. Timber sale information will
be posted here when it is available.
