The forests of our country have been a richheritage of our people; but they have not been kept in trust, as they might havebeen, yielding constant revenues for future generations. Though much of ourinheritance has been exhausted, it is not too late to attempt its restoration.Like our schools and roads, our public institutions and means of protection,maintained not only for ourselves but for coming generations, reforestation hasbecome a great public interest, calling for new civic responsibility and generalpublic support. In the planting and care of trees, in learning their uses, their utility canhardly be separated from their truth and beauty and the goodness they teach.Trees
