Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Forests of California After a quarter century of effort by the conservationists, the problem Of providing for adequate protection and wise use Of forests and forest land in the United States is still one of the most pressing problems of the Nation. This problem can not be solved in its entirety by foresters and landowners. Public Opinion must be aroused. The destructive use Of the forests which created the pres ent Situation has been tolerated partly because Of lack Of general understanding Of the results Of unwise lumbering methods and Of letting fire burn the woods. There is great need to-day for the public to become acquainted with the forests in a more intimate way. To know something of their extent and productivity, their relationship to the economic and social life Of the Nation, and their consequent claim to direct interest on the part Of every citizen in their wise use and perpetuation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elfin-Forest of California For many years I have been wandering among the mountains of Southern California, so it is with some degree of assurance that I write about them and their wonderful forest cover. And for this reason, too, what I shall have to say is largely out of my own personal experience and investigation. The Chaparral is very dear to me now, but when I first hit the trail that led me into it, it did not strike me at all favorably. And everything about it was so new and strange that I almost felt as if I Were in another world. Of the brush of which it was composed, there was scarcely a familiar form, and it was all so harsh and unyielding that it aroused a certain feeling of hostility within me. I knew, however, that the feeling was unjust, for I was fully aware the Chaparral was a forest - cover designed by Nature as the best possible means for the conservation of the land. I knew, too, the proper thing for me to do was to down the unfriendly feeling and make an honest effort to get acquainted.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cover Type and Fire Control in the National Forests of Northern California The amount and kind of fuel present in the woodland type varies greatly. In the drier situations the oaks, the principal species, occur as isolated trees, with Widespreading crowns. This form of woodland type merges with the grassland type throughout its range; the ground is carpeted With grasses and weeds In profusion, and these form the principal fuel. Fires, as in the grassland type, spread With great rapidity over the surface, though rarely running up to the tree crowns. Where precipitation is heavier, the woodland type forms a close canopy of many hardwood species and the ground is heavily covered with a layer of dried and decayed leaves, and lacks any understory of grasses and weeds. Fires in the denser stands eat their way slowly through this semicompacted mass of organic material, flaring up occasionally through the trees under increased wind velocity.

Download or read book Forest Rangers Catechism written by Robert William Ayres and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Rangers' Catechism: Questions and Answers on the National Forests of the California Region The average citizen has no conception of some of the technical terms or trade names used by forest officers in their everyday work. Such terms as grazing allotments, improvements, timber appraisals, special use, and the like, either mean nothing to the average inquirer or at least may convey only a hazy or distorted idea of what one is talking about. Regulation of grazing, which assures forage for live stock and the stabilization of the stock-raising industry; regulation of timber cutting, which provides for an unfailing future supply of timber; forest protection, which aids in the regulation of water flow and the prevention of erosion, all mean a great deal if rightly under stood. The fact that public resources are being so managed that they supply a demand and bring in a revenue, and yet are not being injured by use, should interest the citizen, who is a part owner and shareholder in the national forests. The Forest Service is a decentralized Federal agency, and the idea of bureaucracy is often corrected when it is seen how many important questions are settled on the ground and how few are referred for decision to the Forester at Washington, or even to the regional forester at San Francisco.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ownership and Use of Forest Land in the Coast Range Pine Subregion of California As a result of early grants of land to the railroads, certain parts of the northern section and particularly the national forests, still have remnants of a checkerboard pattern which consists of private sections of land intermingled mainly with sections of public land. This checkerboard pattern poses certain problems in the management of public as well as private land.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saving the Redwoods: An Account of the Movement During 1919 to Preserve the Redwoods of California These groves are stated generally to be about thirty-two in number and are much scattered and isolated in the northern part Of their range, while in the south they are larger and closer together. This distribution shows that the Big Tree is on the decline, the various groves having long Since lost touch with each other, while in the north the reproduction is very poor. They all grow in Spots sheltered by surrounding for ests and the slopes of the Sierras are more or less windless, but unless artificially protected in national parks they would soon be destroyed for their valuable lumber. They have suffered throughout the ages from ground fires. Their enormously thick bark, which is from one-half to two feet through. Is a great protection, and the tree lives on, although its heart has been burned out, SO long as this bark and its underlying cambium layer can reach the earth. If protected by human care the Big Tree has remarkable recuperative power, and many Of the trees in the Giant Forest show an accelerated growth owing to their immunity from fire even for a few decades.

Today but a relatively few of the giant sequoias 1 remain to interpret the past and give promise to the future. Although these forest monarchs have created great interest, aroused much speculation, and resulted in many stories since their earliest discovery, they continue to be among the mysteries and wonders of nature. The human tongue, gifted as it is, has failed to describe adequately their towering majesty and solemn beauty. As individuals, and as members of a forest community, they stand supreme - the largest and perhaps the oldest living things on earth.
