Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Department of Forestry of the State of Pennsylvania for the Years 1914-1915
The Department of Forestry is anxious that the people of Pennsylvania shall enjoy the State Forests as camping, hunting, and fishing grounds, and every possible facility consistent with the pro tection and development of the Forests will be furnished our people to this end. The recreation and enjoyment to be obtained in the woods is being more and more appreciated. The hunters, fish ermen, campers, and picnickers are among the staunchest friends of forestry, and to them we confidently look for better protection of the State Forests from year to year, as well as greater care in their use of the forest. The large number of forest fires attributed to campers, hunters, and fishermen should soon be materially decreased. It is not possible to have beautiful recreation grounds and forest fires in the same place. Neither is it possible to have fish and game in abundance on burned areas. The sooner this fact is indelibly burned upon the memory of all of us the more careful we will 'all become of the way we conduct ourselves in the woods.
