JEFFERSON FOREST CHIEF TO LEAVE

Charles "Chip" Cartwright, supervisor of the Jefferson National Forest, is leaving to help head a new U.S. Forest Service program in Washington.

Cartwright, who has led the Jefferson for two years, will report July 9 to his new job as environmental conservation director for the agency's New Perspectives program.

The program is an effort by the Forest Service to emphasize uses of the forest besides timber production. The agency's timbering policies have attracted criticism in recent years.

Cartwright will be one of three people directing aspects of the program. An agency spokesman described it as "as whole new approach for the Forest Service."
