A eee REAPPRAISAL was a Service-wide undertaking. A 
large group of the best-qualified administrative and research 
personnel in the several regions and in Washington participated. 
The project was conducted and the several reports prepared 
under the general direction of Assistant Chief R. E. Marsh, 
assisted by V. L. Harper. Much of the preliminary planning 
was done by Associate Chief E. H. Clapp, who retired before 
work got under way. The writing of this report was largely 
the work of R. E. Marsh, C. Edward Behre, and H. Glenn 
Meginnis. ‘The list of those who took part in analyzing the

In the compilation of basic statistics of land and timber stand, 
and in varying degree in other phases, the Forest Service had 
the cooperation of other Federal agencies, State foresters and 
other State officials, and the American Forestry Association, the 
latter having started an independent appraisal project in 1944. 
Many private organizations and individuals contributed in one 
way or another.
