WlTHIN recent years, Floridians have been faced with the realization that their resources of timber would be exhausted if the indiscriminate cutting of the forests was not halted. The demand for foresters moved the University of Florida to establish the School of Forestry to train students in the techniques of forest management. Although the needs are slowly being filled, the demand for these men still exceeds the number of graduates. The school offers two curricula—forest management and wildlife management. The varied aspects of logging, processing, preservation and conservation of timber arc dealt with in the forest management course. In the other program, conservation and multiplication of wild life and game species are the main concern. Adequate field facilities arc present in the 2083 acre Austin Cary Memorial Forest and the 2500 acre Conservation Reserve in Putnam County. In addition, several national forests are within easy driving distance of Gainesville. CLEMENS M. KAUFMAN Director of the School of Forestry
