Forest History Today Magazine

This issue contains two feature articles on forester and conservationist Aldo Leopold. Other feature articles include an examination of how Indigenous people used fire before and after European colonization in the U.S. Southeast, a look at fire ecologist Harold Weaver’s use of photography in his research, the artwork of landscape painter Susie Barstow, and the forgotten contributions to forest conservation of 19th-century mining engineer John Birkinbine. Two other articles focus on tropical research in Central America, and the vital role a forester from Pennsylvania had on the national forests in Mississippi. In the Columns department, you can learn about the birthplace of scientific forestry in the United States, an iconic bird that changed forest history, and a congressman whose legislative efforts saved millions of birds.
