Abstract:

The first forestry plan in the United States was created for Biltmore Estates by Gifford Pinchot. This would change how the country viewed forest conservation, making it both profitable and practical. Pinchot’s successor, Dr. Carl Schenck, created a forestry school to teach the new generation of forester management skills and techniques. Together, these two men created took European models and tailoring to the American landscape.
