Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Forest Congress: Held at Washington, D. C., January 2 to 6, 1905, Under the Auspice of the American Forestry Association The American Forest Congress, the proceedings of which make up this volume, was held at Washington, D. C., January 2 to 6, 1905, under the auspices of the American Forestry Association. The purpose of this Congress, as stated in the official call, was "to establish a broader understanding of the forest in its relation to the great industries depending upon it; to advance the conservative use of forest resources for both the present and future need of these industries; to stimulate and unite all efforts to perpetuate the forest as a permanent resource of the nation." That the time was ripe for such a meeting was proven by the splendid attendance, both in numbers and personnel, from every section of the country. From its inception the plan for the Congress had the approval of the President of the United States, as well as many of the most prominent persons in the official and industrial life of the country. As a result the American Forest Congress turned out to be not only the most important meeting ever devoted to forestry in the United States, but one of the most influential gatherings that has given its attention to an economic subject. It is not too much to say that from the date of this Congress forestry has come to have a new meaning to the American people. It was the wish of the delegates that, in view of the very comprehensive treatment of the subject of forestry at the several sessions of the Congress, that the proceedings should be collected in permanent form, which explains the making of this volume.
