Abstract:
Founded in 1886, the Pennsylvania Forestry Association (PFA) worked tirelessly to awaken the state government and people to the dangers of forest destruction. In its journal, Forest Leaves, the PFA advocated forest conservation and wise utilization of resources. It also educated the public about forest science. The article describes some of the successful conservation strategies derived from the first 20 years of Forest Leaves.Keywords: forest history; Pennsylvania; conservation management; environmental management; forest; forest management; forest resources; forestry; forestry research; forestry science; natural resources; natural resource management
