AFOUR-Y EAR, undergraduate 

 course that prepares for the prac- 

 tice of Forestry in all its 

 branches and leads to the degree of 



BACHELOR OF SCIENCE 

 IN FORESTRY 



Opportunity is offered for .grad- 

 uate work leading to the degree of 

 Master of Science in Forestry. 



The course is designed to give a 

 broad, well-balanced training in the 

 fundamental sciences as well as in 

 technical Forestry, and has, conse- 

 quently, proven useful to men en- 

 gaged in a variety of occupations. 



This school of Forestry was estab- 

 lished in 1903 and has a large body of 

 alumni engaged in Forestry work.*

poplar, hemlock, beech, cedar, balsam, 

 white pine, red pine, and oak. 



Table 3 is a stock table for the average 

 acre. 



Table 4 shows the Current Annual in- 

 crement, based on Pressler's formula, of 

 the eleven chief species. This is a re- 

 markably good piece of work. The C. 

 A. I. per cents are applied to the corre- 

 sponding values in the stock table and give 

 the increment in board feet or cubic feet 

 per acre, as the case may be. 



Table 5 shows the adopted diameter 

 limits and the corresponding rotation ages 

 and C. A. I. per cents. "For the saw- 

 timber species the C. A. I. drops below 

 2 per cent beyond the diameter limit." 

 These limits are mostly 14 inches, D. B. H. 



Table 6 shows the allowed annual cut for 

 each species, based on average of determi- 

 nation of cut by three standard methods,* 

 and gives the cut for the next decade as 

 1,000,000 board feet, 2,300 cords, and 2.000 

 posts. This cut is distributed in designat- 

 ed areas (Rlocks) and according to for- 

 est types. 



Table 7 is the general planting plan for 

 the decade ensuing. Some 600 acres will 

 be planted. (The detailed plantings for 

 each year are given in Table 16, covering 

 four pages.) 



The State adopts a sane combination of 

 pleasure and profit from its forest. Here is 

 its policy : 



"This Park, together with several others 

 in the State, was purchased as a place for 

 recreation. This is the chief use to which 

 it will be put. It has been felt that the 

 interests of the public would best be served 

 if the forests of the Park were placed un- 

 der management, so that revenue would re- 

 sult, and the open lands, now idle, be made 

 productive by growing trees. 



"These policies have been combined into 

 one, and in the future, the Park will be 

 managed both for a recreation forest, and 

 for a supply of timber, the latter not to 

 conflict in the slightest degree with the 

 former." 



The working plan is the instrument for 

 accomplishing these desired results. The 

 Conservation Commission of Wisconsin is 

 to be congratulated upon such a progres- 

 sive viewpoint and upon publishing such a 

 simple, straightforward plan of manage- 

 ment. "He who runs may read" what for- 

 estry proposes to do. Here is, at last, an 

 available example of the "working plan 

 that works" of which the reviewer dream- 

 ed ten years ago.
