Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Vanishing Forests The forest is the background of America. We have built enormous industries upon its resources. We lead the nations of the earth in using its products. We turn to the woods instinctively for recreation. The forest is one of our great preservers. It feeds our lakes and streams. It shelters and renews our wild life. It has given moral stamina, self-taught resourcefulness, and bodily vigor to every generation of Americans. It is time we balanced accounts with our forest. It is time we became growers as well as users of wood. It is time we acquired something of the forestry sense of the provident folk of the old world - the instinct to protect the woods, to plant a tree where no more valuable plant will grow. It is time we paid heed to our idle acres - that we restored woods, industries, and people on the large part of our soil which lacks them all. To reach this goal much must be done by way of public effort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
