The Minnesota Forestry Association 



The Minnesota Forestry Association was organ- 

 ized in 1876. It has a membership composed of resi- 

 dents in every county in this state and many from 

 other states. It has always been the tireless friend 

 of the forests. 



The object of the Association is to promote the 

 preservation, by wise use, and to encourage the ex- 

 tension of the forests of the state; its means are 

 agitation and education; it seeks to encourage the 

 application of forestry by private owners, large or 

 small, and by the state especially, to be administered 

 in the highest interests of all. 



The Association seeks as members all who sympa- 

 thize with its objects and methods, and who believe 

 that our natural resources constitute a common her- 

 itage, to be used without abusing and administered 

 for the common good. 



The Association meets annually in St. Paul. It 

 publishes monthly "The North Woods" as its official 

 magazine. The list of contributors to this magazine 

 this year will include many men prominent in forest 

 work in the United States. 



The dues to the Minnesota Forestry Association 

 are as follows: Annual Members, $1; Contributing 

 Members, $5; Sustaining Members, $10; Life Mem- 

 bers, $100. Every member receives 'The North 

 Woods" and any other printed matter that may be 

 edited by the Association from time to time.
