A Long-Range Program For Italian Forestry

Soon after the Allied Armies gained a firm foothold on the Italian peninsula Professor Nelson C. Brown was sent to Italy to advise the Allied Commission on a forestry program. His report was made directly to the commission and has received only limited distribution. The summary presented here was prepared by Associate Editor Sisam, with the approval of Professor Brown. It describes Italian forests, their history, and potentialities. The plan presented provides ultimately for making Italy essentially self-sufficient in forest products.
