Pinchot, Gifford, 1865-1946

Adirondack problem

Gifford Pinchot reports to the Camp Fire Club of America about forest conservation in Adirondack Park. He believes the forests are one of New York’s greatest possessions, supplying resources, commerce and recreation. More should be done to protect the forests from misuse and fire. Good laws and properly trained, well-paid firefighters and forest rangers will help the efforts, as well as replanting programs. Pinchot recommends new laws for logging companies, discusses issues with Section 7 of Article 7 of the Constitution, and recommends changes to that article.
