About This Book

A young recruit joins the forest service and, through episodic adventures, learns the day-to-day duties of men who protect woodlands. The narrative alternates action scenes—patrols, animal encounters, bronco-chasing, cattle stampedes and firefighting—with practical accounts of logging impacts, nursery work, tree planting, watershed protection, and techniques for preventing and controlling fires. Vignettes illustrate training, fieldcraft, and the organizational measures used to conserve and restore damaged forests, while photographs and sketches reinforce practical lessons about forestry management and conservation.
