Carhart of Denver, well- known outdonr writer and censer- vationist, author of a new book- let, "Trees and Game ......... Twin Crops." "TREE AND wildlife live to- gether on nearly half a bllllon acres of commercial timberlands in the United States," Carhart said in the new publication. "A great many of our animals and birds require forest environments for food and shelter. The value of natural resources lies in making wise use of such, wealth. There- fore, wise management of timber and of game is directed at the production and harvest of each as a crop ..... indeed, they are twin crops."

Second, it is the bet ]Drosect of susttined fields in both resff/. Carhart emphasized the impor- :ance i' keeping wildlife p0pula- tions in balance with the ability of timberlands £o feed them. He cited se,eal in=tances of major deer die-offs brought on by over- populated herds. "THERE'S A potential In the tree farm movement, and all for- est management like it, to mater- ially increase not dnly timber sup- )lies, but gamd resources as well," said the noted writer. ]Simpson Plants Hore New Trees Simpson Logging Company was among the companies who cele- brated the planting of the 100 millionth Douglas fir seedling from the Col.

Carhart of Denver, well- known outdonr writer and censer- vationist, author of a new book- let, "Trees and Game ......... Twin Crops." "TREE AND wildlife live to- gether on nearly half a bllllon acres of commercial timberlands in the United States," Carhart said in the new publication. "A great many of our animals and birds require forest environments for food and shelter. The value of natural resources lies in making wise use of such, wealth. There- fore, wise management of timber and of game is directed at the production and harvest of each as a crop ..... indeed, they are twin crops."

Second, it is the bet ]Drosect of susttined fields in both resff/. Carhart emphasized the impor- :ance i' keeping wildlife p0pula- tions in balance with the ability of timberlands £o feed them. He cited se,eal in=tances of major deer die-offs brought on by over- populated herds. "THERE'S A potential In the tree farm movement, and all for- est management like it, to mater- ially increase not dnly timber sup- )lies, but gamd resources as well," said the noted writer. ]Simpson Plants Hore New Trees Simpson Logging Company was among the companies who cele- brated the planting of the 100 millionth Douglas fir seedling from the Col.
