Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Geologist: For the Year 1899, Report on Forests
This Report is necessarily incomplete, and at the end of the work in its preparation it is as if we were at the beginning of our studies of forestry, so wide is the range of inquiry and so far afield do the associated groups of related studies lead us. Cognizant of its imperfections, it is sent out to give information as to our needs of a scientific treatment of our forests and a State policy of protection and to stimulate a growing sentiment about forestry into an active practice of silviculture. It is hoped that it may appeal to all lovers of trees and of our woodlands as well as to the large landholders, and that its suggestions may take form in natural parks in the vicinity of our cities, in forest and game preserves in our Highlands and Kittatinny mountains and in the Pines of Southern New Jersey, and in timbered lands throughout all the State where wood shall be a valuable crop.
