9781528089760: Third Biennial Report of the State Forester of the State of Colorado (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A window into Colorado’s early state forestry efforts and how officials built a coherent plan for forests, fire protection, and education. This concise overview explains the role of the State Forester, the organization behind forest policy, and the projects that shaped Colorado’s approach to managing timber, protecting woodlands, and teaching the public about forestry.

The report outlines how the State Forester works with state boards, colleges, and federal agencies to study forests, prevent fires, and support timber production. It highlights ongoing and planned projects, from cooperative fire protection with the U.S. Forest Service to experimental fence-post treatment and shelterbelt work. Readers will see how forestry ideas moved from theory to practical actions in schools, towns, and the countryside.


  • How state and federal efforts coordinated to prevent and fight forest fires.

  • Practical experiments in timber preservation and tree planting.

  • Educational outreach and extension work that reached farmers across eastern Colorado.

  • Plans for a college forest, street-tree surveys, and a state nursery approach.



Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century forestry, state administration, and Colorado history.
