Forest conservation urged to save forests and promote forestry
The piece argues that lumber markets and bark exploitation threaten forest acreage in parts of the U S. urging public opinion, state actions, and federal forest reservations. It cites 15 reservations totaling 15 million acres from 1893 acts, notes limitations, and calls for forestry schools and private owner education to sustain timber supplies. A convention discussion outlines procedure for memorial tree selection and arbor day debates.
