 Assistance from the State . 



In numerous states, town and county forest 

 preserves may obtain the co-operation and aid in 

 management and protection from the State Forester 19 * 20 ' 21 

 Young trees fcr planting may be secured free of charge 

 or at very low prices from the state nurseries, and 

 other assistance is easily available. T 



The advice of a landscape architect in 

 collaboration with the forester in charge is 

 decidedly to be advocated. His recommendations 

 will, by preventing mistakes and planning for the 

 most appropriate development, prove highly 

 economical in the end, and will repay beyond 

 measure any expenditure that his services may 

 entail. His suggestions may be of the simplest 

 kind. For example, in the constrxiction of trails, 

 at many points, by bending the trail to one side 

 or by a little lopping of branches or the removal 

 of a few trees, there may be opened vistas of 

 entrancing beauty, which would otheriitise be passed 

 by vacationists without knowledge of their possibilities. 

 The opening of such vistas, may be called a landscape 



development which does nothing to the landscape itself
