Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Conditions in the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve
Sir, - I submit herewith a report which has been prepared by Mr. T. W. Dwight of his investigations of last season in regard to the relation of the Species of timber in the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve, the effect of the methods of lumbering followed on their reproduction, and the extent to which natural reproduction has followed.
The work! That has been done by Mr. Dwight in this way will be of great assistance in determining the methods which are to be followed in the cutting of timber so as to ensure the natural reproduction of the best species. Investigations of this kind enable us to plan methods with greater certainty that the results will be those that we intended to reach. It is important that we should have a thorough understanding of natural reproduction and of the factors which govern it, as we must depend on it very largely for the reproduction of our forests, as reproduction by artificial means will be too expensive to be used extensively at the present time, and we should resort to it only where natural reproduction is clearly not sufficient to accomplish the work.
I would recommend that this report of Mr. Dwight's be printed as a bulletin of this Branch.
