The American Forestry Association 



President— CURTIS GUILD, Jr. 



Former Governor oj Massaohusatts 



The American Forestry Association was organized in 1882, and 

 incorporated in January, 1897. It now has nearly 7,000 members, 

 residents of every State in the Union, Canada, and foreign coun- 

 tries. From its organization it has been the tireless friend of the 

 forests. 



The object of the Association is to promote the preservation, by 

 wise use, and the extension of the forests of the United States; its 

 means are agitation and education ; it seeks to encourage the appli- 

 cation of forestry by private owners to forest holdings, large or 

 small ; and it favors, especially, the establishment and multiplication 

 of National and State forests, to be administered in the highest in- 

 terests of all. 



The Association seeks as members all who sympathize with its 

 object and methods, and who believe that our natural resources con- 

 ftitute a common heritage, to be used without abusing and adminis- 

 tered for the common good. Seeking to conserve our supplies of 

 wood and water, the Association appeals especially to wood- 

 producers and users, including owners of wood lands, lumbermen, 

 foresters, railroad men, and engineers ; and to those dependent upon 

 equable stream flow, as manufacturers, irrigators, employers of 

 water power, and those engaged in internal commerce. 



The Association meets annually in Washington. It publishes, 

 monthly, Conservation, the magazine of authority in its special 

 field. The list of contributors to this publication includes practi- 

 cally all persons prominent in forest work in the United States, 

 making it alone worth the cost of Annual Membership in the 

 Association. 



The dues, covering a subscription to Conservation, are as fol- 

 lows : Annual — For Annual Members, $2 ; for Sustaining Mem- 

 bers, $25 ; Total, with exemption from all other payments — for Life 

 Members, $100; for Patrons, $1,000. Of the above amount, $1 

 is set aside each year to pay the subscription of each member to 

 Conservation.
