82.WHAT IS FORESTRY?

Anyone who travels across our country sees so many forests everywhere that he might well wonder why we have to worry about protecting them. Don’t we have too many forests with too many trees right now?

Actually, about a third of all the land area in the United States is forest land. That’s more than 250,000,000 hectares. One of the most important things we can do for the future of our country is to see that our forests are properly cared for! This is being done in Britain and elsewhere.
