Synopsis

This book documents the work of the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry during a period of unprecedented growth in the state's forest preservation system. The Department transformed the state's conservation efforts through the implementation of new management strategies, the creation of new state forests, and the development of educational and scientific forestry programs. When first commissioned, the department was responsible for a mere 141 acres of land, a sharp contrast to the half-million or more acres it manages today. Beyond detailing the practical developments of the Department, the author explores the philosophical shifts in the public's perception of forestry over the turn of the century, a change that was essential in order to secure the political will and funding needed to establish such a vast preservation system. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of forestry, conservation, and environmental policy in the United States.
