A forest is not solely so many thousand board feet of lumber to be logged when market conditions make it profitable.
I consider the social point of view of foresters as most essential to the success of their profession.
The forests are the 'lungs' of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.
I accept the award of the Schlich Forestry Medal.
