Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Maryland State Board of Forestry for 1910 and 1911
The State Board of Forestry has been in existence a little over five years, and during that time it has prosecuted the work of laying the foundations of a State forest policy that should meet the needs of our people.
Maryland, with its acres of woodland, is unable to pro duce more than one-third of the timber she uses because of destructive methods of cutting, and the injury resulting from repeated forest fires. If her forest lands were as fully productive as they could be made by proper forest management, they would produce three times as much as they are now doing, and the value would be at least four times as great, due to the better quality of product. Instead Of importing the bulk of her timber, the State might be growing all that she requires, or its value equivalent.
