 natural beauty and forest growth do not already 

 exist, developments creating- attractions of this sort 

 fehould be undertaken, at least for the benefit of 

 future generations. 



Specific recommendations have been discussed, 

 covering management, protection and development of 

 forest reservations and an explanation of where 

 landscape art and forestry meet in this development, 

 with reasons for the justification of forest aesthetics. 

 Conclusions. 



The conclusions to be drawn from this 

 consideration of the case are irre si stably favorable 

 to the promotion of forest reservations near urban 

 centers. The idea is endorsed by those seeking to au- 

 gument the national timber supply; by authorities 

 concerned with the health and welfare of the nation; 

 and by the astute municipal financier who agrees only 

 with programs that will yield economic wealth to the 

 community- There is much precedent to guide further 

 enterprise in the establishment of forest reservations 

 and many of these examples of past accomplishment show 

 conclusively the value and economy of such work. 



Ask any tenement youngster in crowded Hew 

 Tork, back from his annual week's outing along the 

 wooded waterside of the Palisades Interstate Park, 

 what he thinks of the forest reservation idea. There 

 will be a gleam of that joy yielded only, the the fresh 

 out-of-doors, and the entire gladness of trees and sky.
