Over 8,000 miles of the American scene are on parade for the professional foresters from more than 60 nations to visit seven major regions of the United States for a firsthand look at America and her forests. forestrv institutions

TWX: NIIOL 7666 and forest industries, while they are in this country as delegates to the Fifth World Forestry Coniress a[ Seattle, Wash., Aug. 29-Sept. 10.

Congress officials announced that two pre- and five postCongress tours were available to special groups of the nearly 2,000 foresters attending. A special tour of British Columbia will be offered by Canada. In addition, six all-day and nine half-day toirrs ar.e scheduled while the Congress is now in session to give delegates an opportunity to visit major points of interest within 250 miles of Seattle.

"Because we want our visitors to get a well-rounded picture of our country," said Henry Clepper, Tours Committee chairman, "we have arranged these tours not only to show a slice of American forestry and forest industry, but a cross section of America itself."

The tours are being made by bus except for an air trip to Alaska. Travel routes are scheduled through agricultural and woodland areas, and through small towns and large cities so visiting foresters may see Americans living, working and using their land for many purposes.

One of the two pre-Congress tours covered a large part of New York state and New England. The second was a 1,200-mile trip from Los Angeles to Seattle through one of America's most interesting and heavily forested regions.

The five post-Congress tours will carry visitors from St. Paul to Milwaukee in the Great Lakes region, Memphis to New Orleans in the South, Spokane to Salt Lake City in the Rocky Mountain region, Phoenix to the Grand Canyon in the Southwest, and from Seattle to Sitka in southern Alaska. The Canadian trip offered by the British Columbia Forest Service will include a trip to Vancouver and to several private and public forestry projects.

Short tours during the Congress will include visits to experimental forests, State and private nursery and seecl op-eratiorrs, the Seattle watershed, and lumber, plywood, and paper industries in the Seattle area.

Of particular interest to foresters will be a 180-mile _tri^P to Snoqualmie National Forest, administered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, arl o,utstanding example of multiple use in land management. Visitors to Snoqualmie will see logging roads and active logging operationJ, patch cutting of- Douglas-fir, slash disposal, regeneration by seeding and planting, recreational areas, emergency airstrips, and Jacilities and equipment for managing and protecting forest resources. ^
