Management plans

Forest management in America is gradually acquiring a character and color of its own. For many years foresters in this country were forced, because of lack of American experience, to preach and practice methods transplanted bodily from Europe. But when a background of actual practice and a better understanding of the silvicultural and economic factors peculiar to this country had been acquired, there came about a general realization that we could not begin where Europe left off; that we must, to a certain degree at least, meet American conditions with American measures.
