Administrative History

In 1925-1926, the Conservation Commission undertook a survey of the arboreal resources of the Adirondack Park in order to secure data relating to the incremental increase in board feet per unit for various species over time, and the death rate of various species. To secure such data, sample plots of approximately one-quarter acre were established throughout the Adirondack forest and data were recorded in 1926, 1931, and 1936.
