Scope & Content |
History of the Forest Service Region 5 Timber Management Before 1974 >> John Buck, Regional Silviculturist, 1957-1973, wrote extensive drafts of timber management history in Region 5 after he retired in 1973, using the history records in the Region 5 Timber Management Staff Silviculture Library. A comparison of his draft manuscript to his outline of intended subjects, showed that the major parts of his history were essentially completed. The primary focus, evident through almost all his manuscript, was a Regional staff perspective: that is, policies, procedures, and operations of the District/Region 5 staff managing the timber resources in the National Forests in California. We chose to use Buck’s writings that had this focus, and did not use the other materials, since other histories have covered those subjects. >> John Fiske, Jerry Jensen and Will Charter finalized this manuscript >> Attached: Forward and Table of Contents Manuscript Outline & Index 2020.022.002 - Early History - Forest Reserves to District 5 Timber Management; Appraisal Methods; Timber Management Plans and Timber Surveys 2020.022.003 - Special Projects; Timber Sale Administration; 2020.022.004 - Cutting Methods and Application Of Silviculture; Reforestation and Timber Stand Improvement; Pest Control Activities 2020.022.005 - Appendicies |
