A forest is not solely so many thousand board feet of lumber to be logged when market conditions make it profitable.
I accept the award of the Schlich Forestry Medal.
The preservation of the forests must be lifted above mere dollars and cents considerations.
I consider the social point of view of foresters as most essential to the success of their profession.
