PENNSYLVANIA CONSERVATION COUNCIL 



With a view to coordinating the activities of all groups interested 

 in conservation, the Pennsylvania State Conservation Council was 

 organized in March 1922. It set as its objects: " To outline a con- 

 servation policy for the State; to correlate the efforts of the many 

 state- and county-wide organizations interested in various phases of 

 conservation; and to secure uniformity of action among the several 

 organizations for the support of such measures as are deemed impor- 

 tant for the advancement of conservation." 



The Council is representative of organizations with a membership 

 of more than 200,000. It is interested in forestry as an essential 

 part of any conservation program. One of its most important com- 

 mittees is a forestry committee. 



The officers of the Council are R. L. Watts, Dean and Director 

 of the School of Agriculture, Pennsylvania State College, president; 

 Miss Florence Dibert, R. T. Brown, David Prichard, vice-presidents ; 

 Major M. I. McCreight, treasurer; J. A. Ferguson, State College, 

 Pennsylvania, secretary. 



TENNESSEE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



The Tennessee Forestry Association was organized in Nashville, 

 Tennessee, on November 12, 1918. Its efforts have been directed 

 solely toward the creation of a forestry sentiment favorable to the 

 prevention of forest fires and to the support of the forestry work 

 which the State is carrying on in a general way. As an organization it 

 has been effective in putting before the public some essential forestry 

 ideas through which the forestry sentiment has been augmented 

 favorably throughout Tennessee. 



The Association has an active membership of eighty. The first 

 president was the late J. M. Overton and that office is now held by 

 Major Rutledge Smith. Rufus S. Maddox, State Forester of Ten- 

 nessee at Nashville, is secretary of the Association.
