CANADIAN SOCIETY OF FOREST ENGINEERS

The Canadian Society of Forest Engineers was organized at a 

 small meeting of professional foresters in Montreal on March 12, 

 1908, with the late Dr. B. E. Fernow as presiding officer. It was 

 dedicated " to advance the members in the theory and practice of 

 forestry by the discussion of technical and professional topics; to 

 promote better mutual acquaintance among Canadian foresters and to 

 cultivate an esprit de corps among the members of the profession : to 

 take such steps as may from time to time appear advisable for the 

 purpose of promoting in Canada the interests of the forestry pro-

The Society now has a membership of 186, three of whom are

 representing Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, Ontario, the Prairie
