National Forests are resources that are used for betterment of the country. That means multiple uses: grazing, homes, camping, agricultural (including managed logging). That is why the National Forests are managed by the Department of Agriculture.
National Parks are meant to preserve pristine/historical resources hence they are pretty much off limits to most of the above. They are managed by the Department of the Interior.
