ACKNOWLEDGMENT 



The survey of the forests of New Hampshire was made by the 

 Northeastern Forest Experiment Station of the U. S. Forest Service, 

 Upper Darby, Pa., in cooperation with the New Hampshire State 

 Forest and Recreation Commission. The commission and the 

 Brown Co. of Berlin, N. H., provided the aerial photographs that 

 were used. Extension Forester K. E. Barraclough and the county 

 foresters of New Hampshire, particularly Robert H. K. Phipps, 

 made a special supplementary study of timber quality. All this 

 assistance is gratefully acknowledged. 



Many former and present members of the Northeastern Forest 

 Experiment Station staff took part in planning and making the 

 survey and in compiUng and analyzing the results. Their con- 

 tributions to the project are appreciated. The station is also in- 

 debted to the many persons who reviewed the results of the survey 

 and offered helpful suggestions. Preparation of the final report 

 was a staff job in which Edwin vH. Larson, James C. Rettie, Adrian 

 M. Gilbert, and John R. McGuire collaborated.
