Excerpt from The Adirondack Spruce: A Study of the Forest in Ne-Ha-Sa-Ne Park; With Tables of Volume and Yield and a Working-Plan for Conservative LumberingI wish to express in this place my high sense of the public spirit and practical wisdom which led Dr. Webb to sustain the investigation whose results are now pub lished, and to approve and apply the plans of work which it has produced. My sincere thanks are also due to Mr. Edward M. Burns, Manager of ne-ha-sa Ne Park, for his unfailing interest and assistance, and to the men to whose constant and loyal efforts whatever has been accomplished is so largely due.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The following discussion of the conservation problem is not a systematic treatise upon the subject. Some of the matter has been published previously in magazines, and some is condensed and rearranged from addresses made before conservation conventions and other organizations within the past two years.   While not arranged chronologically, yet the articles here grouped may serve to show the rapid, virile evolution of the campaign for conservation of the nation's resources.   I am indebted to the courtesy of the editors of The World's Work, The Outlook, and of American Industries for the use of matter first contributed to these magazines.
