Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Planting: A Treatise on the Care of Timber Lands and the Restoration of Denuded Wood-Lands on Plains and Montains
From the first annual report of the State Forest Com mission, published at Albany in 1886, it appears that the gentlemen forming that Commission had at that time a correct view in regard to the extent of their duties, for on page 12 they declare that they not only must protect the preserve against ravages by the elements (fire), and against the army of thieves and trespassers who are plundering the State forests, but that there should be devised a system which would, in time, make these forests not only self-sustaining as to cost of management, but, in addition, a source of wealth and revenue to the commonwealth.
