Synopsis
Excerpt from First Report of the Michigan Academy of Science: Covering the Time From the Organization of the Academy in 1894 to June 30, 1899
The importance of making a survey of the fauna, flora, and other natural resources of the State was recognized as early as 1837, and a fair begin ning was made, though for want of persons to press the subject; little has been accomplished excepting to continue the geological survey; and this has been maintained, merely because of the brilliant and prompt financial results which were anticipated. Michigan is far behind many other states east, west, and south in the study of fauna and flora. Primi tive conditions are fast disappearing. In hundreds of townships, there are only fragments here and there which still contain the native wild plants. These regions have been cleared up and now bear farm crops. The swamps and marshes have been drained; the woods pastured; the roadsides cultivated for crops almost to the tracks made by passing teams. Fires have repeatedly burned over some of the most interest ing portions of the State. Extensive tracts of timber have been cut and removed, and before the young timber could cover the ground and begin to repair the waste, fires have licked up nearly every green thing.
