That's cool, I did not know about their mission statement. But I do know about the Organic Act of 1897, which is still the basis of the existence of the USFS, which states its own purpose, to remove all doubt:
"Public forest reservations are established to protect and improve the forests for the purpose of securing a permanent supply of timber for the people"
