• Abstract:
  • Harvard Conference on Forest Production (1953-1959, 1961-1965)
  • The first four Conferences (1953-56) were devoted to the theme: "Forestry in Transition," wherein the assumption was made that America was approaching the need to produce more of its wood by cultural means. The next three Conferences (1957-59) were reoriented to the question of investment analysis as applied to the forest resource. No Conference was held in 1960, but when the eighth was convened in 1961 its theme was the broadened view of the investment in forest land management for a multiplicity of purposes.
