262 LANDSCAPE-GARDENING 



many large areas set aside for public recreation and 

 for places of refuge for life of all kinds. Future 

 national parks should include areas of sand dunes 

 with frontage on the Great Lakes, areas of forest 

 distributed through parts of the country east of the 

 Rocky Mountains all the way to the Atlantic 

 Ocean, areas in the northern and in the southern 

 states. Let us preserve samples of all the wooded 

 areas and all the natural attractions which our 

 children, grandchildren, and all the generations yet 

 to come will be glad to see. Do not let any portion 

 of the country through lack of forests degenerate 

 to the conditions of certain parts of Spain and other 

 countries that have been denuded of woods.
