The School Book of Forestry

"The School Book of Forestry" by Charles Lathrop Pack is an educational book from the beginning of the 20th century that teaches about forests and why they matter for nature and people. The book explores different parts of forests, like how they grow, how they help the environment, and how people affect them. It begins by explaining how important forests are for things like farming, wood, and industries. Pack stresses that we need to protect forests because they do so much for the environment and for us. He talks about how forests and farming depend on each other, how we are using up forests too fast, and how we need to start taking care of them better. The narrative motivates young readers to learn about forestry and take action, encouraging them to protect the environment for the future.
