Excerpt from Looking Forward to Forestry Activities: A Guide for Boy Scout Leaders
Do your Scouts know that in spite of all - out fire prevention campaigns, people carelessly start about 125 thousand forest fires yearly? Do they know that the absence of wildlife from an area may not be because of hunters or poachers, but simply because there is little or no food or shelter for it? Do they know that stream pollution may result from one or all of three major causes - industrial waste, municipal waste, soil erosion? Do they know that forest insects kill at least 5 billion board-feet of sawtimber every year? Do they know that although most of our sawtimber now lies west of the Great Plains, most of our forest land - 75 percent of it, in fact - is in the East.
