Abstract:

Professional forestry in America began on the Biltmore property owned by George Vanderbuilt. Wanting to preserve the large amount of forest on the land, Vanderbuilt hired two different foresters from Europe to do so. One began the nation’s first forestry school and the area is now known as the Cradle of Forestry.
