| | | The Forest History Society is unique as the only organization on the planet solely dedicated to preserving forest and conservation history. From the Alvin J. Huss Archives, which contain the records of industry and conservation organizations worldwide, to the more than 9,000 volumes of the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Library, there is no more comprehensive compilation of materials related to forest history in the world. | | The Forest History Society fosters scholarship by enabling studies related to forest conservation and use over time. Several online databases such as the annotated Environmental History Bibliography, provide researchers, educators, journalists, and scholars worldwide with tools they can use to bring historical integrity to their work. The Environmental History
journal and Forest History Today magazine provide a critical outlet for relevant research. | | The Forest History Society helps young people and adults understand and appreciate the varied lessons of forest history. Through programs such as the middle school curriculum, If Trees Could Talk, and the Lynn W. Day Distinguished Lectureship series, students of all ages learn to recognize the value that forests have had to individuals and societies throughout history. | | The Forest History Society plays a crucial role in supporting the development of rational resource policies that will lead to a sustainable future. The Society serves as a bridge between scholars, landowners, and policymakers and seeks out unique collaborations that help leaders understand the historical context of resource issues and make informed decisions about forests and our quality of life. | | |
