REPORT To His Excellency the Governor and the Honorable Council: The Forestry and Recreation Commission submits herewith its report for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1958. This consists of a record of the activities of the Forestry Division and brief accounts of related agencies prepared by the State Forester and his staff. HARRY K. ROGERS, Chairman, OWEN JOHNSON, RANDALL E. SPALDING, LAWRENCE C. HACKETT, JASON C. SAWYER, Forestry and Recreation Commission. WILLIAM H. MESSECK, JR., State Forester d I — INTRODUCTION Administrative Staff State Forester WILLIAM H. MESSECK, JR. Administrative Assistant II EVERAND D. YOUNG ALPHONSE J. Ro Accoruntant II WALTER MARTIN Warehouse Manager MARGERY A. SPINNEY Account Clerk III CONSTANCE S. SMITH Clerk Steno ill JULIETTE V. CAMIRE Clerk Steno III PAULINE P. CHAPUT Account Clerk II Responsibility of the Forestry Division The land area of New Hampshire is 84 per cent wooded—4,850,000 acres; of this amount 4,000,000 acres are privately owned (about 35,000 woodlot owners) and the balance (800,000 acres) is in public ownership — White Mountain National Forest 677,000 acres; state forests 47,000 acres; state parks 17,000 acres and the rest in federal flood control areas, or owned by towns, cities, counties or other state agencies. It is quite clear from the above that the primary responsibility of the Forestry Division is to interest and encourage private woodlot owners to adopt intensive forest management practices on their hold ings. The attainment of this objective would support a greatly ex panded forest economy in the state and increase the aesthetic value of our woodlands in the process. We are using several approaches to attain this long range objective: (1) We are expanding and improving our forest fire protection and forest pest and disease control programs with emphasis on forest fire prevention (Smokey Bear, increased en forcement, etc.); (2) to encourage reforestation, we are making forest planting stock available to woodlot owners at approximately 50 per cent of production costs; (3) on a self-supporting basis, we are placing our state forests under intensive management practices to serve forest demonstration purposes; (4) we are carrying out forest research at our Fox Research Forest to assist the small woodlot owner in solving some of his more common management problems; (5) under our REPORT OF FORESTRY DIVISION 7 Cooperative County Forester Program (Forestry Division and N. H. Extensive Service) we are providing free a limited forest manage ment advisory service aimed to develop interest and provide encourage ment to small woodlot owners; (6) we propose to carry out a limited school education program at elementary and high school levels to create and develop an early interest in our forest resources among our next generation of woodlot owners. Appropriated Funds: Now and Ten Years Ago The following table compares the actual appropriations for the fiscal year 1951-52 with amounts requested for the fiscal year 1960-61. It will be noted that of the net increase 99.7 per cent is caused by personal services (salaries). This percentage figure should be quali fied by the observation that 14 positions of the 1951 department per sonnel roster were eliminated in a 10-year period, and 9½ new ones created. The addition of two new lookout watchman positions were by legislative acts in 1953 and 1957. The following table summarizes the budgets for the two biennial periods: 1951-52 1960-61 Difference Personal Services $154,966.40 $264,706.10 +$109,739.70 Current Expenses 39,991.00 34,451.00 — 5,540.00 Travel 9,200.00 14,755.00 — 5,555.00 Equipment 17,659.00 19,288.15 + 1,629.15 Other Expenses 5,500.00 4,200.00 — 1,300.00 Net Legislative Appropriation $148,843.40 $258,927.25 +$110,083.85 It should also be pointed out that the changes in Current Expenses and Travel accounts are due almost entirely to transfer of operating costs of passenger vehicles from Current Expense to Travel, a change in fiscal policy made in 1956. That no real increase (other than $15.00) appears in the travel account reflects effective economy in motor vehicle operation and maintenance since (1) costs have increased notably in these 10 years and (2) many more vehicles are now in operation. Expenditures for equipment increased 9% over the 10-year period or less than 2% per biennial budget period. During these 10 years the forestry radio network has grown from 12 units to 111; there are 25 more motor vehicles; many labor-saving devices and machines have been added at the State Forest Nursery, and replacement costs have risen for office equipment, forest fire hose, pumps and passenger vehicles. The following table shows the organization of the Forestry Division in 1951 and 1958. It should be noted that the “½” positions refer to 8 REPORT OF FORESTRY DIVISION cases where one-half the salary is paid from sources outside of the net legislative appropriation here considered.

Two additional county foresters are urgently needed to provide one for each county, and the Forestry Division should share the cost of these under the cooperative arrange ment now in force. The work load of county foresters is increasing annually; it is the only program of its type that provides a limited assistance to small woodlot owners at the grass-roots level free of cost. It is a major influence in promoting better forestry on private land. Pilot School Forest Education Project. The “Smokey-the-Bear” Program in which our Forest Fire Prevention and Training Officer, James Q. Ricard, has addressed schools and youth groups has resulted in over 22,000 “Junior Forest Fire Rangers” receiving badges and study kits. In view of this success in working with school children, it is evident that one of the best places in which to sell forestry is in the schools. This supplements the work of the county foresters in making personal contacts with owners in the field. Teaching forestry in school together with the establishment of school forests as outdoor workshops will have both a short and long range effect upon private forest management. Smokey-the-Bear fire prevention lessons taught school children are readily transmitted to parents who then under stand and take greater interest in our fire prevention efforts. This is a short range benefit in fire prevention.

Three things have happened since 1932 that have profoundly in fluenced and altered the course of the work of this department: the aftermath of the depression gave us the State and Federal Work Pro grams, the hurricane devastated a large part of o’ur forests and the war depleted our timber resources and our working personnel. With lumber production and all business at their low ebb in 1932, State and Federal measures for relief of unemployment furnished work programs which could not have been considered in ordinary times, particularly in developing facilities for recreational use in our public reservations.

    The Student Conservation Association Annual Report 2007 Annual Report 2007 1 2 Student Conservation Association A lever for moving the world. The power to save the planet. For 50 years, the volunteers of the Student Conservation Association have preserved national parks, restored ailing lands, and left a wondrous collective legacy on the American landscape. Their mission – indeed, the youth conservation movement – started with the brilliantly simple idea of Elizabeth Cushman Titus Putnam, then a recent college graduate herself. Liz’s 1955 senior thesis introduced the concept of a “Student Conservation Corps” and over the past half-century, SCA has become a living, breathing how-to manual for engaging young people in the practice of stewardship. Today, amid climate change, urbanization, and “nature-deficit disorder,” SCA is writing important new chapters in conservation. The contemporary challenges facing our planet demand that we broaden our environmental efforts, even as we continue to serve our treasured parks and forests. Thus SCA is unleashing bold new strategies that will mark our next 50 years by… • Bringing sustainable, green practices to communities in need… • Connecting young people of every background to the land around them, and… • Instilling a modern ethic of stewardship that will guide a new generation. SCA doesn’t just take a stand – we take action. From mountain trails to Main Streets, and from seashores to city schools, SCA is redefining conservation all across our nation. Annual Report 2007 3 A letter from the chairman It is inspiring to realize, more than five decades later, that what started as two teams of students in Grand Teton and Olympic National Parks has evolved today into the nation’s most powerful conservation service force.

  • Forestry and Recreation Cornmission
    State of New Hampshire BIENNIAL REPORT of the Forestry and Recreation Cornmission 1947 - 1948 I I I Paper or canoe birch — the State Tree of New Hampshire. eftozi To His Excellency, the Governor, and the Honorable Council: The Forestry and Recreation Commission submits herewith its report for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1948. This contains a record of the activities of the two divisions, and brief accounts of re lated agencies prepared by the State Forester and Director of Recre ation and their staffs. As use of the state forests, reservations and recreational areas increased during the post-war period of prosperity and desire for more and more people to travel, these years have called for an expansion of facilities and developments aimed at meeting the demand. Services to private forest owners have also risen greatly, and the disastrous fire season of 1947 has placed severe strains on the forest fire protec tive organization. In spite of the problems, and difficulties en countered, the period has been characterized by an endeavor to satisfy public needs for our varied services. W. ROBINSON BROWN, HARRY K.

COUTURE 1903-1949 The Forestry and Recreation Commission regrets to record the passing on January 28, 1949 of Mr. E. J. Couture, who has rendered outstanding service to the state for 30 years as administrative assistant in charge of forest fire prevention and control. Not only did he carry on the exacting forest fire details of the office, but by attendance at meetings of the County Forest Fire Wardens Associa tions and otherwise, he maintained a personal contact with town fire wardens, and other members of the fire organization throughout the state.
