Program Action Plan

Following the adoption of its program for American forestry, the American Forestry Association, through its board of directors, has announced a five-point plan for immediate action toward its realization.

The Association stresses its policy of working through existing public and private organizations rather than forming a new organization in the conservation field. The action plan is designed to: (1) develop by a broad educational approach an ever increasing appreciation on the part of the general public of the importance of good forestry; (2) obtain increased services to inform the rnillions o{ owners of forest lands as to their opportunities to use their properties for continuous and profitable growing of trees; (3) encourage state and local governments, public and private agencies, to take greater responsibility and leadership in dealing constructively with their own forest conditions and needs; (4) serve as a clearing house of information relating to activities of the various groups, in the interest of better integration and coordination; and (5) enlist interest, participation and cooperation among all conservation, educational, civic, youth, farm, labor, financial, industrial and other groups in advancing the program.

An American Forestry Council will be organized to serve in an advisory capacity. Members of the council will be selected from leaders in the different fields of forest interest and public affairs.
