Memorial Forests 
Communities which are planning permanent 
memorials to those who made the supreme 
sacrifice in the war can well consider memorial 
forests as a fitting tribute. 
Most frequently memorials have been statues 
Or monumental edifices made from stone or 
Now 
metal. Commission for 
the American 
Living War Memorials is vigorously publicizing 
plans for memorial forests. As a nation we have 
barely made a start in establishing community 
forests. In addition to 
their economic value 
they serve as public recreation centers, water- 
shed protectors and sanctuaries for wildlife. A 
town forest administered by devoted, civic- 
minded citizens can be an inspirational living 
memorial.
