Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Conditions of Nova Scotia
After personal consultation with the attorney-general and Commissioner of, Crown Lands, Hon. Wm. T. Pipes, it was agreed to make the reconnaissance during the two summers of 1909 and 1910. This project was also heartily endorsed by Hon. A. K. Maclean, successor to Mr. Pipes, and continued under him through the second season.
By choosing the summer season it was possible to secure the competent assistance of two members of the staff of the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto, Dr. C. D. Howe and Mr. J. H. White, who are mainly responsible for the result. They devoted both seasons to the task, and deserve the highest credit for the success and unusually economical performance of the under taking.
In addition, during the first season, Mr. H. B. Ayers, an experienced timber looker, was employed for part of the time, and in the second season, three advanced students of the Faculty of Forestry, all of whom contributed faith fully to the result.
Mr. J. B. Whitman, Provincial Forest Ranger, was detailed to assist in the survey, and rendered invaluable service from time to time during the first season.
