When an executive gives a job toa committee of his employees, heexpects them to complete the task tohis satisfaction with little or noassistance from him. This Directoryissue is a fine example of that. Otherthan <pproving some of the basicideas, I had nothing to do with it. Iam highly pleased with the resultand commend AI Roberts, EvelynStock and the Editorial Committeefor a job well done.

The reason for the existence ofthe New York Forest Owner's As-sociation is education; to expandeach member's knowledge of how tobest operate a woodlot or a manyacre forest. We are succeedingwithin our membership through ar-ticles in the Forest Owner magazine,technical sessions at our fall andspring general membershipmeetings, and four woods walks peryear in different parts of the state.

What's our problem? We're notreaching enough forest owners!

The View From thePresident's Chair

(When I say forest, I am includingwoodlots of 10 acres or more.) Fiftyeight percent of all forest land inNew York State is owned by privateland owners, exclusive of forest in-dustries. Our membership is ap-proaching 700 but there must be10,000 forest land owners.Please help us reach more people

by interesting them in joining ourassociation. You can give giftmemberships, you can invite ac-quaintances to woods walks andsemi-annual meetings, you can letother forest owners read your copyof our magazine. You can workthrough your local Cooperative Ex-tension office to publicize ourorganization. Many Extension of-fices already do this. The AmericanAgriculturist, Gordon Conklin,Editor, usually lists our meetingdates in its Calendar of Events. Wehave a lot going for us but we needevery member to be a missionary forour cause. - the further education

of the private forest owner.The view from the President's

chair is of vast wooded acres, notnecessarily contiguous, which needbetter management. Our purpose isto improve that management byeducation of the land owner. Willyou help?

FORESTRY • RECREATION "

FOREST RESOURCEIN

NEW YORKBy Neil Gutchess

"The forest resource in New York isone of our most important and probablyleast known assets, and the wise man-agement of that resource is one of ourmost important yet probably least under-stood obligations." There is a directpresent and future connection betweenthe employment and commerce potentialin the New York forest industry and themanagement of the forest resource.

New York is the heart of the so-called"Northern Forest." Our forests, whichmake up about 50% of our total landarea, contain more growing stocks ofsugar maple, yellow birch, basswood,beech and white ash than any otherstate. In addition, New York forests con-tain significant quantities of oak andcherry, which are extremely valuablespecies.

Demand for products from our forestsis growing significantly. Not only aredomestic manufacturers shopping forour unique resource but also affluentEuropean customers have recognizedand are demanding household productsmade with forest resources originating inNew York. The United States ForestService estimates that prices for forestproducts will rise, because of supply anddemand factors, about 2% per yearabove the average of all prices over thenext 20 years or so.

Over the past two or three years thenumber of primary manufacturing plantsoperating in New York has increased from442 to 494. Even discounting firewoodsales, withdrawals from our forests haveincreased substantially. It is becomingincreasingly clear that future growth inmanufacturing and employment relatedirectly to the intensity of professionalmanagement of our forest resource.

New York's timber based industriesemploy more than 300,000 people, andalthough it is true that many of the forestresources that sustain this employmentoriginate from outside of New YorkState, it is also true that many of theresources of our forests are fabricatedinto products outside of New York State.

Historically, New York state's wood-lands have been very important to theculture, economy and beauty of thestate. Not only do the trees of New Yorkprovide land cover, protecting againsterosion, but they beautify the landscape.In addition, the naturally renewable for-ests provide an economic foundation forindustry which manufactures consumerproducts while employing citizens of thestate.

The U.S. Forest Service reported thatin 1968 there were more than 14 millionacres of commercial forest land in NewYork. The total area of forest in the stateapproximated one-half the total area of30,600,000 acres, and it was increasing.Between 1950 and 1968 the area of com-mercial forest land increased 14 percentaccording to the Forest Service data.Only six percent of the commercial forestland was publicly owned, and of the pri-vate forest, only nine percent was ownedby forest industries. It was estimated that250,000 private owners owned 85 per-cent of the commercial forest land of thestate. Non-farm rural residents, absenteeowners, and miscellaneous private own-erships account for almost 60 percent, ora total of 8.5 million acres. The dollarvalue of this huge forest resource has notbeen accurately determined, but it isobviously an amount so large that it isdifficult to comprehend. Without ques-

ASK A FORESTERGot a question?By Al Roberts

Can youafford

one inchdiametererrors?

Yes, but only if you can affordtimber losses of $1 50 per acre.

In cruising and inventory work, a one inch diameter error canbe magnified many times. Example: A tree you guesstimate as20" DBH/3 logs is actually 21" DBH. This one inch errorcould cost you $150 per acre - assuming $160/MBF Doylescale for southern pine and a 5% cruise.

When buying or selling timber don't risk errors like this. Use adiameter tape from Forestry Suppliers, Inc. At today's stumpageprices, you can't afford not to.

FOREST RESOURCEContinued /rom Page 3tion it is increasing rapidly, as woodproduct prices increase, and as more andmore people seek to purchase forest landfor one or more of a variety of reasons.

People purchase forest land to pro-duce wood products, as a speculation, asa personal retreat from the pressures ofprofessional or business activities, as alocation of a second home, for recrea-tion, for personal satisfaction. Many ofthem have limited information aboutmanaging their properties, and thosewho are experienced in owning forestland often find their information andexperience inadequate to obtain thepotential returns possible. Thus there isthe situation that a resource of very greatimportance is probably not providing theeconomic or personal return to theowner that could be obtained. The NewYork Forest Owners Association wasorganized to assist owners to gain greaterreturns from owninq forested land.

New York ForestOwners Association

By George FowlerEditor, Northern Logger

Few states can lay claim to harboringan organization like the New York ForestOwners Association. Active since 1962,the Association represents the interests of255,000 forest owners of New YorkState. Numerous well-known New Yorkforestry names have graced the leader-ship and Board of Directors of the Asso-ciation.

One of the most famous was DeanSvend Oluf Heiberg of the State Univer-sity College of Forestry at Syracuse Uni-veristy, internationally known for hiswork in silviculture, and credited with thefounding of the New York Forest OwnersAssociation. His first-hand observation ofsuccessful forest owner associations inScandanavia sparked the movement.

At the Syracuse College of Forestry,Dean Heiberg headed up a faculty com-mittee on Forest Land Owners Associa-tion comprised of Dr. William A. Duerr,Dr. Paul E. Graves and Prof. Ralph G.Unger. Under sponsorship of the NewYork State Forest Practice board, twoForest Land Owners Forums took placeat the College of Forestry, the first onNovember 9, 1961, and the second onOctober 8, 1962. At the first Forum, TedBuckley, a member of the New YorkForest Practice Board, Cambridge Dis-trict No. 11, served as Chairman ofGroup IV, discussing "Pitfalls in

Svend Heiberg at the Pack Demonstra-tion Forest in 1963.

Managing Forests and Selling Timber."When the next Land Owners Forum

took place a year later, Ted convenedand chaired the morning session. In theafternoon it was decided to organize aNew York Land Owners Association.Sheriff Theodore T. Buckley of Cam-bridge, Washington County, N.Y., waselected Prsident Pro Tem and Mrs. Bar-bara E. Pittenger of Marcellus, N.Y.,Secretary Treasurer Pro Tem.

The first meeting of the Pro TemBoard of Directors was called by Presi-dent Buckley at Drumlins in Syracuse onJanuary 12, 1963, and was followed bya number of monthly Board of Directors'meetings - on February 2 at the JohnMilton Motel in Syracuse and on March9, 1963.

At the First Annual Meeting of theNYFOA, held at the College of Forestryon April 27, 1963, the New York ForestOwners Association was formally organ-ized. A Board of Directors was electedand Ted Buckley was voted President.An astonishing 50% of the membershipturned out for the First Annual Meeting.

Ted put out the first edition of theForest Owner in July 1963. That samemonth the Association WaS incorporatedand Vol. 1 No.4 for October 1963 stated'The New York Forest Owners Associa-tion is definitely committed to backingthe Tree Farm movement in New YorkState."

The Association activities and actionscontinue to increase every year. Thestated objectives of the Association are:

1. To unite the forest owners of NewYork in a common cause of improvingtheir forest resources and forest oppor-tunities.

2. To join with and support private,state and federal programs that strength-en forestry, such as the New York ForestPractice Act and Tree Farm Program.

3. To help make ownership of forest-land more attractive as an investment.

4. To work toward an economic cli-mate favorable to permanent forest in-dustry.

5. To maintain a balance betweentimber growth and cut to assure rawmaterials for industry and steady em-ployment in forest communities and ruralareas.

6. To encourage education and re-search in forest management, marketingand use of forest products and services.

7. To manage forest land to enhanceits natural beauty for the benefit of theowner, motorist, tourist and recreation.

To meet its objectives, the Association:• Publishes six issues of the Forest

Owner each year, providing free andfriendly exchange of experience, outlookand opinion among the members.

• Holds Annual and Fall meetings,tours and field trips to inform and inspire.

• Mails members helpful and instruc-tive materials furnished by the NYFOA,state and federal agencies, and indi-viduals.

• Promotes standards for timber har-vesters that protect forest owners in thesale of timber and during logging opera-tions.

• Works for the classification of forestlands into: timber growing, recreation,watershed, wildlife, summer home sites.

• Works for a forest land tax adapt-able to conditions of timber harvesting.

• Recognizes and acclaims meritor-ious effort in the field of forestry, conser-vation and outdoor recreation.

• Conducts "Woods Walks" to stimu-late enthusiasm for: growing timber,enjoyment of outdoor living and gettingacquainted with NYFOA members.

The Association's current president isHoward O. Ward, of Candor, NY. Heinvites anyone interested in joining theAssociation to write to membership sec-retary, Mrs. Helen Varian, 204 VarianRd., Peekskill, NY 10566. The member-ship can bring you returns in the satisfac-tion of growing quality timber, stabilizingforest industries and markets, providingpermanent jobs, increasing the value ofyour woods, enlarging areas of naturalbeauty across New York State andleaving behind a monument in' livingtrees to bless the tomorrows for the boysand girls today.

Forest Management


lbmorrow's ForestsBegin Here.

This is the sign of the future forAmerican Forestry. It indicates one ofthe more than 32,500 Tree Farms be-ing managed by private landownersfor the growing and harvesting offorest crops.

A Tree Farm is not just a matter ofplanting trees, or having 10 acres ormore of woodland. Tree Farmers ac-tively manage their forests ... grow-ing and harvesting crops of trees; pro-tecting the land from fire, insects,disease and destructive grazing. Theyprovide watershed protection, betterfood and habitat for wildlife, and op-portunities for outdoor recreation.

And it is the Tree Farmer who willmake possible the lumber, woodfiber, and other natural resourcesAmerica needs for tomorrow'sgrowth.

If you have 10 acres or more ofwoodland, why not send for informa-tion on this valuable program? TreeFarms payoff for their owners and forour country.

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE

by Alan R. KnightFormer Editor of the NYFOA

I envision a Forest Owners Associationof at least 10,000 members tied togetherby common interests, a top notch forestowner magazine, regular tours (bothdomestic and foreign), cooperative mar-keting arrangements, sales offices in keycities, cooperatively owned equipment,and staff professionals which would in-clude an executive director, staff forest-ers, and marketing professionals. The as-sociation might even own its own millsand processing plants. Its productswould include not only education for itsmembers, but professional services tohelp them best manage their forest re-source, market their products and lobbyfor their legislative well being. Productswould run from hardwoods for industryto Christmas trees to firewood to whoknows what else.

I envision regional or county chaptersof the association which would be strongspokesmen before local taxation reviewcommittees, county legislatures, andchambers of commerce. From the ranksof those local organizations would comethe leadership for the state organization.Locally sponsored woods walks andsmall scale tours to other parts of thestate or region would be excellent acti-vities for the forest-owners in each localeand would greatly aid in stimulating localparticipation.

That is my vision. That is my motiva-tion for taking a group to Scandinaviaand to the Sodra Skogsagarna, a forest-owners cooperative in Sweden whichseems to be exactly what I am envision-ing for New York State.

How do I propose to make this visioncome true? I am no wizard but it seemsto me that if such a vision could beshared and mutually longed for by theboard of directors and the members,themselves, this would be a toddling firststep.

NEW YORK FOREST OWNERSASSOCIATION AWARD...

WINNERSFor the past few years there had been

a growing concern on the part of theBoard of Directors about recognizingoutstanding service to the New YorkForest Owners Association and its mem-bership.Most of the people who work for the

New YorkForest Owners Association arenot even paid expenses. Many makeconsiderable sacrifices in time, conven-ience, and resources.

In 1977, the NYFOA Board of Direc-tors voted to establish a New YorkForest Owners Association Out-standing Service Award.

The Heiberg award recognizes out-standing service to Forestry in New Yorkstate, whereas the NYFOA award recog-nizes service to the organization. De-signed primarily to recognize outstandingservice by members, at the discretion ofthe awards committee, it could be award-ed to a nonmember of the NYFOA.

Candidates for this award may be sub-mitted by any member of the NYFOA tothe awards committee. It is anticipatedthat this award willbe made annually atthe discretion of the NYFOA Board ofDirectors.Although there have been many indi-

viduals who have performed outstandingservice to the NYFOA, the AwardsCommittee has had no difficultyselectingthe first three winners. Emiel Palmerwas our first award winner in 1978, KenEberley in 1979, and Helen Varian in1980.
