Abstract:

Western forests were stripped in the 19th-century, but with investment of time and money George Vanderbilt helped to restore the region's natural resources. The region was first to hire an American forester, Gifford Pinchot, establish an American College of Forestry with Dr. Carl Alwin Schenck as head, and create a national forest in eastern America.
