Highlights in the History of Forest and Related Natural Resource Conservation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Highlights in the History of Forest and Related Natural Resource Conservation Professional forest education began in the United States. The New York State College of Forestry was established at Cornell University and the Biltmore Forest School at Biltmore, N. C. Two years later (1900) the Yale Forest School was established at New Haven, Conn. These three and other early American forest schools began promptly to take an active part in the development of American forestry. A small number of these early forestry graduates accepted employment in the Department of the Interior. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
