Book Description
Excerpt from Sugar Pine and Western Yellow Pine in California Since the early mi mng days in California, sugar pine has been one of the most valuable timber trees of the State, and the exhaustion of the eastern white pine forests has of late brought it into even greater prominence. Unfortunately, it has a somewhat restricted range, and the supply in sight, though large, is by no means unlimited. Yellow pine in California, which is of equal importance as a timber tree, is also included in this study. The two species are so intimately associated, both in the forest and in the market, that a study of one would be incomplete without a study of the other. It is believed that the time is ripe for the better management of the forests of the State, since the growth of lumbering on a large scale, the increased value of timberlands, and, above all, the awakening interest of the lumbermen themselves, seem to indicate the possibility of a first step, at least, in this direction.
