Summary |
A National Plan for American Forestry, Summary >> Summary of the report prepared by the Forest Service pursuant to Senate Resolution 175 (72d Congress, 1st session), introduced by Senator Royal S. Copeland. >> Also called the Copeland Report - the was the result of a United States Congressional investigation of forestry for the purpose of outlining a coordinated plan that would "insure all of the economic and social benefits which can and should be derived from productive forests by fully utilizing the forest land. Earle H. Clapp, later Chief of the US Forest Service, supervised the report. This report became the blueprint for forestry in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and had its beginnings in a senatorial discussion of unemployment, where reforestation might be a source for jobs. Previous reports had given the state of the forests, but without offering a plan for improvement. In the Copeland Report the main recommendations were: (1) A large extension of public ownership of forest lands, and (2) more intensive management on all forest lands. The full report, volumes I and II is 1,675 pages Senate Document No. 12 - Separate No. 1 |
