What are the key differences between national forests and national parks in terms of their management and conservation efforts?

National forests are managed for multiple uses, including timber harvesting, grazing, and recreation, while national parks are primarily focused on preserving natural and cultural resources. National forests are managed by the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture, while national parks are managed by the National Park Service under the Department of the Interior. Conservation efforts in national forests often involve sustainable resource management, while conservation efforts in national parks prioritize preservation and protection of ecosystems.
