Society of Americon Foresters Lqunches Study of Educotion

A nation-wide study of education in forestry and related fields of natural resources management was started in June by the Society of American Foresters, according to an announcement by George A. Garratt, Society president. The project was made possible by a grant from the Old Dominion Foundation, Inc., of New York City, and undertaken at the request of representatives of 25 colleges and universities because of the nation's economic and social dependence on forest and related renewable natural resources and on their products and services.

Harold G. Wilm of Syracuse, N. Y., director of the study which is expected to continue over a period of two years, will work with a supervisory committee of educators and foresters including Chairman Henry J. Vaux, dean of the School of Forestry, IJniversity of California, Berkeley; Richard E. McArdle, chief of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, \Mashington, D.C.; Bernard L. Orell, vice-president of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, St. Paul, Minn., and others.

A report of the findings will be published by the Society as a book. It should be available early in 1960.
