56 FORESTRY ALMANAC 



While the membership of the Association is necessarily not large 

 it is particularly important in quality, comprising men whose position 

 in the forestry movement is one of official executive activity. Annual 

 meetings are held at the call of the executive committee, and special 

 meetings may be held on the decision of the same body or by the 

 president at the request of five members. The annual membership fee 

 is five dollars, and, while any state may be represented at the meet- 

 ings by as many of the members of its forestry department as is 

 desired, each state has one vote. 



Besides the aim of promoting cooperation, the Association seeks 

 to bring together the forestry officials for the discussion of problems 

 of mutual interest. The organization is particularly of value in the 

 consideration of both questions of legislation and method in carrying 

 forward the forestry work in the several states. 



The Executive Committee is : V. H. Sonderegger, State Forester 

 of Louisiana, president; R. P. McLaughlin, State Forester of 

 Montana, vice-president; Chapin Jones, State Forester of Virginia, 

 secretary-treasurer; Robert Y. Stuart, secretary of the Department 

 of Forests and Waters of Pennsylvania, and John S. Holmes, 

 Forester of the North Carolina Geological Survey. The secretary's 

 address is Charlottesville, Virginia. 



AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PARK EXECUTIVES 



and 

 AMERICAN PARK SOCIETY 



While the interest of this organization is directly in parks, their 

 administration and their recreational value to the country, it is 

 naturally found in support of forest preservation and restoration. 

 Trees are essential to the beauty and utility of parks, and the Institute 

 forms an active organization in support of conservation work. 



The officers of the organization are: Theodore Wirth, Superin- 

 tendent of Parks, Minneapolis, Minnesota, president; C. H. Meeds, 

 executive officer of the City Park Department, Cincinnati, Ohio, vice- 

 president; Will O. Doolittle, secretary-treasurer and Field Secre- 

 tary, Minot, North Dakota. The Institute publishes an illustrated 

 bi-monthly journal under the title of Parks and Recreation.
