Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry Work MY reason for attempting to write of forestry work is that I feel there is need for a comparatively low-priced book giving a brief outline of the principles of sylviculture, and describing in more detail and in simple language the actual work, and the methods of arriving at certain facts and figures, which might serve as a stepping-stone to larger and more expensive works. Many young lads, when first entering the woods, cannot afford to buy expensive books, and are thus at a loss to know the proper way to do certain work, and the reason why it is done in certain ways. This small work may help to explain many of these things. It may also prove useful to older and more experienced men as a reference book, through the collection of tables at the end.

Download or read book First Book of Forestry Classic Reprint written by Filibert Roth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Book of Forestry During the last twenty years the general interest in forestry has grown with remarkable rapidity in all parts of our country. The federal government has set aside large forest reserves, and several states have established reservations or parks. The private owners of large tracts of forest lands are employing trained foresters to care for their property, and an improvement in the smaller holdings is everywhere noticeable. Forestry is taught in two special schools in America, and elementary courses on the subject are given in several colleges and preparatory schools. A desire has been expressed to introduce this useful and interesting study into our public schools and country homes, and this volume is an attempt to provide a book on the subject which shall satisfy this demand. In keeping with this purpose there has been no attempt to write a textbook or manual of forestry; but an effort has been made to present in simple, non-technical language some of the general principles underlying the science, and to state the methods which are employed and the objects to be attained in the practice of forestry. Early association with the well-kept forests of Germany, observations made in the widely differing forest districts of our own country, and three years' experience in teaching forestry have helped to make the responsible task of preparing this book a pleasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Careers in Forestry As early as 1912, it is estimated, there were approximately 500 men in the United States with a greater or less degree of technical training in forestry. These were in addition to forest rangers who began without a technical background, but who through their own experience in national and State work' had acquired considerable practical knowledge of certain phases of the subject. The importance of proper training now and in the future for a career in the field of forestry cannot be overestimated. As the num ber of foresters steadily increases and competition becomes more keen, thorough education will become more and more necessary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School Book of Forestry Our forests, with their billions of trees, are the backbone of agriculture, the skeleton of lum bering, and the heart of industry. Even now, in spite of their depletion, they are the cream of our natural resources. They furnish wood for the nation, pasture for thousands of cattle and sheep, and water supply for countless cities and farms. They are the dominions of wildlife. Millions of birds, game animals, and fish live in the forests and the forest streams. The time is coming when our forests will be the greatest playgrounds of America. It is necessary that we preserve, protect, and expandour timber lands. By so doing we shall provide for the needs of future generations.

This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry and Arboriculture in Massachusetts Ladies and Gentlemen, - It has been concisely stated in the report of a forest commission of a neighboring State that a wise economy in the use of the natural resources of a country should recognize the fact that certain regions of the earth's surface are adapted by nature to remain covered with forests, and that any attempt to devote such regions to other purposes can only be followed by failure and disaster. Through the work on the forests of the United States, published in connection with the census of 1880, t it is now possible to form a correct estimate of the immense economic value of our forests. In this volume full accounts are given of the four hundred trees which make up our forest flora, and nearly every one is shown to possess some special value or adaptation to special surroundings. A knowledge, too, of the physical importance of the forests, as shown by a careful study of the effect produced by their removal, both in this country and in Europe, is becoming widely disseminated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Profession of Forestry: Including an Address The history of lumbering in the United States has not differed essentially from that of the same industry in other countries. In the early days, the chief obstacle of the settler was the forest, while the growing need both of cleared land and of timber kept pace with the advance of colonization. The multiplication of demands for3 forest products developed feverish activity in the conversion of trees into money, while the methods employed in the harvesting of timber were the natural outcome of existing conditions. Forestry, with its per petual but conservative returns, offered no financial inducement to the lumberman until the first crop of timber began to fail. With the forest stretched before him, large enough to feed his saw-mill for his lifetime, he had no need to consider the potential value of cut-over lands, often allowing them to revert in default of taxes to the state. His methods of lumbering were significant of his attitude. Skillful and effective in the cutting and transport of logs and the manufacture of lumber, he showed utter obliviousness to the productive capacity of the lum bered areas. Abuse of the lumberman is unmerited and unreasonable. His utilization of natural resources has been accomplished by mistakes similar to those incurred in the development of other industries in this country. The necessity for modification' of his methods involves no emotional considerations. The question is one simply of the best business policy. The attitude of the lumberman towards the source of his industry has so far been generally similar to that of the miner towards the gold mine. He has considered the value of the forest to lie only in the merchantable timber it contains, just as the mine is worthless when the end of the vein is reached. He has cut and burned with complete dis regard of the welfare of immature trees, with the result that he has deprived the future of a supply of timber many times the value of the material he has actually utilized. There has been incalculable waste, which in some cases could have been avoided through slight expense, in others simply by the exercise of reasonable care, and which has hastened enormously the approaching exhaustion of the lumber supply. N 0 one realizes more keenly than does the lumberman that the time for forestry has fully arrived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Forests and Forestry in the United States Classic Reprint written by United States; Forest Service and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forests and Forestry in the United States The present forest area of the United States is estimated at 463,000,000 acres, or something more than 723,000 square miles. This is a little more than one-half the original forest area of the country. The stand of timber is estimated roughly at 746 billion cubic feet, of which 485 billion cubic feet is saw timber and 261 billion cubic feet cordwood. Almost three-fourths of the saw timber is in the remaining virgin forests. These remaining virgin forests are chiefly found in two widely separated regions, the South and far West, from which the United States is now drawing the bulk of its lumber cut. Together, they have 85 percent of the total area still occupied by virgin growth, and 95 percent of the remaining stand of virgin timber. The area of virgin growth in the far West is twice that in the South, with a stand in the ratio of 3 3/4 to 1. But the lumber cut of the South, as compared with that of the far West, is in the ratio of 7 to 6. In the three hundred years that have passed since settlement began, the virgin forests of the United States have been the primary dependence of its inhabitants for their supplies of lumber. Only forty years ago intelligent men were wont to speak of the country's forest resources as inexhaustible. But it is now entirely clear that the needs of the nation require immediate and general provision for growing timber, as agricultural crops are grown. The lumber industry has been supported and is still mainly supported by the diminishing and retreating old-growth forests, now reduced to one-sixth their original size. A few years more will leave little but second growth in the pine forests of the South; and thereafter the requirements of the country for softwood lumber must be met from the western forests, involving heavy transportation costs, and from what has grown up on the cut-over lands in the older regions. These lands were first lumbered without provision for continuous production and then neglected. Left to take care of themselves as wild lands, and exposed to progressive devastation from recurrent forest fires, they have nevertheless grown a certain amount of timber, but for the most part of inferior quality.

Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Working Plans written by A. B. Recknagel and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Working Plans: Forest Organization This book does not pretend to present any original theories of Forest Organization, but merely the best of European efforts along this line adapted to the present needs of American forestry. The necessary data were gathered in the course of a year's study abroad, and, in their application, the experience gained in five years of similar work for the forest service in various parts of the United States was constantly kept in mind. The theoretical part has, therefore, been reduced to the minimum; similarly, the description of such intensive methods of regulating the yield as that by area and volume in periods has been merely sketched for the sake of completeness, since its application to America is of the far distant future, if ever. In a word, while sacrificing nothing to the completeness necessary in a textbook, the aim has been to make the book of value not only to the student, but also to the practising forester, and hence theory has in each case been subordinated to practice. It will be ample reward for the time and labor spent, if this book takes its humble place in the growing list of American text-books on forestry. Grateful acknowledgment is made to those who so unselfishly assisted in the collection of the subject-matter.

Download or read book The Profession of Forestry Classic Reprint written by Henry S. Graves and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Profession of Forestry During the last decade forestry in the United States has developed with remarkable rapidity. The inauguration of forest management on the National Forests, the activity of various States in public for estry, and the increasing interest of private owners in timber growing and protection have resulted in a marked demand for trained foresters. When active work in forestry first began there were no forest schools in the country, and those entering upon the work were obliged to go to Europe for technical training. In anticipation of the need for foresters, and in order to aid in the development of for estry, several progressive institutions established schools of forestry even before the demand for any considerable number of men was definitely assured. The first professional school was established at Cornell University in 1898. This was followed in 1900 by the Yale Forest School. Private instruction in forestry was given at Biltmore, North Carolina, by Doctor Schenck in connection with his work on the Vanderbilt estate as early as 1897, and a school for rangers was started by the State Of 'pennsylvania at Mont Alto, Pennsylvania, in 1903. Since that time instruction in forestry has been introduced in a large num ber of institutions. To-day there are 22 institutions which give courses leading to a degree in forestry, and about 40 others which include forestry in their curricula. It is estimated that there are fully 500 men in the United States with a greater or less degree of technical training, in addition to forest rangers who began without a knowledge of the technical side of forestry, but many of whom through their experience in National and State forest work under technical direction have acquired considerable knowledge of certain phases of the subject. There are probably about young men studying in the forest schools. Forestry may therefore be considered an established profession in the United States. Hundreds of young men are considering it as a life vocation, and are eager to be informed regarding the character of work involved, the elements necessary for success, the requirements for an adequate training, the present and probable future opportuni ties for work, and its possibilities as a means of livelihood.
