Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technical Publication No; 15 of the New York State College of Forestry, Vol. 21: At Syracuse University To exercise sane sufirage the public must be educated as to the natural resources of the state. We must know more of the kinds of trees which make up its forests, the game which inhabits them, the fish which live in the forest streams. Succeeding generations will criticize or commend us as we employ unwise or remedial measures. A wise forest policy presupposes two things, an exten sive campaign of reforestation on idle forest lands within the state, and a close utilization of such forest resources, chiefly tim ber, as still remain. Closer utilization of wood requires a more specific knowledge of tree species and the information given in the following pages is an endeavor to meet this demand. In writing this bulletin no contention is made that the field is a new one. The information given herein is included in the larger and more comprehensive tree manuals covering the trees of North America or, more specifically, those of the north eastern states. Unfortunately, however, many of the manuals are inaccessible to the general public because of the cost while others are of such a technical nature as to render their contents difficult of interpretation by the reading public. Moreover, such generalities often occur as to cause the reader some doubt as to what to apply to New York State. The present bulletin, covering the trees of the state only, omits much extraneous matter which would otherwise confuse.
