probably because they are now administered as a single entity.--

Oh, I see:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/gwj/about-forest. The subject of the article is not so much the forests as the single entity now comprising the two of them—the name of which continues to characterize them as forestS, hence my confusion. Thanks.

I've made an edit in the lead that I believe will add clarity and precision. Even if they're being administered together, though, it seems to me that the two forests ought to have their own articles, as does any large forest, and most of the content in this article is already segregated into material covering one or the other. It would make sense to push all that content into freestanding articles and then let this article link to them while retaining all the content that applies to the administrative unit as a whole. I'm considering drafting the new articles and a reduced version of this one.

The forest service conducts separate reviews for the two forests, so separating the two forests would make some sense. Combining the two forests under one supervisor was probably a result of reducing administrative expenses.--
