The name, "Tree Farm," was conceived in 1941 as a descriptive title for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's holdings in Grays Harbor, Lervis, and Pacific counties in Washington. The area was named Clemons Tree Farm and the title attracted nation-wide attention as appropriate for {or forest properties managed for growth of repeated crops.
In November, 1941, the directors of the National Lumller Nlanufacturers Association decided to initiate and foster a nation-wide Tree Farm movement and. on March 31. 1943, the executive committee of the association approved a plan under which Tree Farms are encouraged and registered with NLI\,IA under the title, "Amcrican Tree Farms."
Tree Farm programs are now operat:ve in ten states ancl adoption of the program has been announced by Southern Carolina and Florida. Similar announcements are expected from Tennessee, Maryland, Nerv Jersey, West Virginia, Wisconsin. and Ohio.
