INTRODUCTION 
This publication has been prepared primarily for the use of leaders of 
young people’s forestry clubs. Its purpose is to suggest forestry activi- 
ties suitable for groups of young people and ways and means of carrying 
on those activities. Not all of the activities given will be found suitable 
for any one club. Some are suitable only for clubs formed by boys and 
girls living on farms or in smaller towns; others are more suitable for 
young people living in the larger cities. 
The information necessary for carrying on certain of the activities may 
be found in available books or in pamphlets issued by forestry associations, 
young people’s organizations, State foresters’ offices, or the United States 
Forest Service. For some of the other activities it will be necessary to 
seek advice from extension foresters, county agents, or forestry com- 
mittees of local chambers of commerce, or Federal or State forest officers 
such as rangers, fire wardens, game wardens, etc. 
The material in this publication is based on Forest Clubs for Young 
People, a mimeographed circular prepared by John D. Guthrie,’ assistant 
district forester, United States Forest Service, Portland, Oreg., and 
part of itis the same. Helpful suggestions were also received from G. H. 
Collingwood, forester, American Forestry Association, W. R. Mattoon, 
extension forester, United States Forest Service, and others. Pictures in
