 meetings in Winnipeg alone, sometimes

FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 



fyHE Forestry Club has had three in- 

 teresting meetings since October 1st. 

 Twenty-five men left Berkeley early Sun- 

 day morning, October 5th and went by 

 train and boat to Fairfax, for a hike 

 through tlic picturesque hills of Marin 

 County. The route of the trip was across 

 a chapparal covered ridge to tlie new La 

 (niitas reservoir of the Marin Municipal 

 Water District. This artificial lake with 

 its well forested watershed is now full to 

 capacity for the first time and has added 

 greatly to the natural beauties of the 

 region. After following down I^a Guitas 

 Oeek to the junction of the Little Carson 

 Creek a halt was made for lunch beneath 

 the shade of some fine redwood. Douglas 

 fir and Tanbark oak trees. The afternoon 

 trill brought us hack to Fairfax by way of 

 tlie headwaters of the Little Carson. 

 Twenty-five species of trees were noted 

 during the day. 



The next regular meeting was held on 

 October 17th. when Professor . David T. 

 Mason spoke to the club about his work 

 with the Treasury Department in the ad- 

 niinistration of the income tax to the lum- 

 ber industry. 



.\n open air n\eeting in the Berkeley 

 Hills was held on October 28th at the old 

 camp fire place in Telegraph Canyon. 

 After a hearty meal of "weenies," coffee 

 and pie, Mr. S. B. Detwilcr, who is in 

 charge of the White Pine Blister Rust 

 eiadication, told the boys something of the 

 character of the work being done in scout- 



ing for the disease and the nature of the 

 quarantine by means of which it is hoped 

 that it may be kept out of the western 

 forests. Mr. Posey, who is directing the 

 work in California and several of his 

 field men were also guests of the forestry 

 club at this camp fire meeting. 



During the regular business session it 

 was decided that the forestry club should 

 recommend to thi' .\ssociated Students' 

 organization the planting of a memorial 

 grove of Sequoia gigantea on a suitable 

 site in Strawberry Canyon to the 80 Uni- 

 versity of California men w'ho gave their 

 lives in the World War. It is hoped that 

 the work can be done as tiie "Lal)or Day" 

 project by the entire student body on Feb- 

 ruary 2^), 1920. It has been the custom 

 for several years for students and faculty 

 to lay aside regular duties on this extra 

 day and all join in some work of im- 

 provement of l)eautification needed about 

 tlie campus. The forestry club feels that 

 tlie planting of such a memorial grove is 

 the most fitting way in which the coming 

 Labor Day can be spent. 



Professor Woodridgc Metcalf spent a 

 week end recently with the Santa Cruz 

 high school forestry class which is being 

 conducted by R. K. Burton, a former presi- 

 dent of the L'niversity of California For- 

 estry Club. .'Xn interesting field trip 

 through some of the cut over lands in the 

 vicinity of Santa Cruz was made the op- 

 portunity for pointing out the necessity for 

 liermanent forests in this region. Many
