Bernhard Eduard Fernow was influential in the early days of forestry in the United States. He was the third chief of the USDA’s Division of Forestry of the United States from 1886 to 1898, preceding Gifford Pinchot. He was instrumental in the development of the United States Forest Service in 1905. He founded the Journal of Forestry and has often been called the Father of professional forestry in the United States. In addition, he was one of several people who pushed for legislation to stop the wasteful harvesting in the Lake States. Fernow gave a series of lectures to the School of Mining in Ontario, Canada, in 1903. Those lectures are attached as a .pdf in this weeks assignment. Assume you were a student at the School of Mining in 1903, and your professor tells you that you are to attend two of the lectures and summarize them for a grade. Please provide those summaries and your thoughts on the lectures for this weeks assignment.
