Forest History Today Magazine

Feature articles in this issue include three timely discussions: the need to protect Mexico’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve from illegal logging, the use by present-day foresters of forest management plans from a century ago to ecologically restore a forest, and how the Dust Bowl of the 1930s could shape the public’s perception of wildfire in the United States today. Other articles look at forgotten transformational figures in watershed stewardship and in a fight over mining in a wilderness area, what could be learned from a forgotten fire in Canada and the U.S., and a forgotten experiment operating a forest products cooperative. And there’s a colorful graphic timeline highlighting one hundred years of the National Association of State Foresters. In the Columns department, you can learn about the last major purchase made under the 1911 Weeks Act, and Maryland’s “First Woman of Forestry.” (view cover image)
