PROPOSED TOUR OF THE NA- 

 TIONAL PARKS AND 

 FORESTS. 



The Massachusetts Forestrj' Asso- 

 ciation announces that it is arranging 

 for next summer a Tour of the Na- 

 tional Forests and National Parks. 

 Non-members who are interested may 

 secure the same privileges as mem- 

 bers by the payment of a guest fee. 



The purpose of this tour is entirely 

 educational. The people of Massachu- 

 setts are joint owners of the national 

 forest and national parks and they 

 should know more about them and how 

 they are being managed. Matters of 

 legislation concerning these vast do- 

 mains are constantly coming to our at- 

 tention, and few people in the east 

 know enough about them to act intel- 

 ligently. Our views differ from our 

 western cousins and every session of 

 Congress registers volumes of debates 

 on how these enormous areas should 

 be managed. All the people should 

 have an equal say in thes matters and 

 their decisions should be based on 

 knowledge and tacts. 



Few people realize that one-tenth ol 

 the area of the United States is in- 

 cluded in our national forests, or that 

 the aggregate area of our fifteen na- 

 tional parks is nearly as large as Mas- 

 sachusetts. Only those who have seen 

 the wonders of the national parks can 

 appreciate the superiority of our own 

 natural scenery over that of any other 

 country. 



While the prime purpose ot this tour 

 is to secure first-hand information, it 

 will also afford an excellent opportu- 

 nity for those who desire a vacation 

 ranging from three weeks to nearly 

 two months in extent in the open air 

 and amid the most inspiring and in- 

 structive surroundings. 



The tour will be under the auspices 

 of the Massachusetts Forestry Asso- 

 ciation which has engaged the Bureau 

 of Vniversity Travel to arrange the de- 

 tails and conduct the party. 



The plan is meeting with general ap- 

 proval and an unexpected interest is 

 heing shown in the itinerary. Those
