SUNDAY, MAY 11, 1902. 7~ Inte FORESTS. resting Information of Their Preservation, Espe- ctal.y In North Carolina. AN ABLE ARTICLE rrom the Pen of Walter L. Jenkins, a Former Resident of Ashville, Now With the Nat. Steel Works. In 1898 a movement was projected in Western North Carolina, having for its object the formation of an association which would interest Itself In the preservation of the woodlands of the Southern Appalachian region. The movement took definite shape on the 22nd day of November, 1899, when an organization was started in the city of Asheville, North Carolina, composed of representatives from all the south- eastern states. This body resolved to j carry on an active and untiring cam- , paign for the establishment of the Ap- j palachian National Forest Reserve, and it is gratifying to note the fact, that as the work progressed and the i movement became better understood, it has enlisted the heartiest support of the most distinguished and influential citizens, as well as the leading daily \ spapers throughout the nation. I i-h papers as the New York Herald, the Boston Herald, the New York Tribune, the New Orleans Picayune and many others, having Championed the measure in words of unstinted commendation. Area of Forest Reserve. The area of this forest reserve, as contemplated by the bill recently Introduced into the house of representatives by the Honorable James M. Moody, member of the Ninth congressional district of North Carolina, will include within the proposed boundary portions of the states of Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia, and especially that section known as the Southern Appalachian mountains. The objects in establishing this area as a forest reserve are quite numerous, but the principal reasons are: Firstly: To afford protection to the headwaters of the large streams and thereby prevent floods, as well as to perpetuate the water powers. Secondly: To preserve this region both as a health resort and for its agricultural resources. Thirdly: TO protect and preserve the hardwood timber, and, Fourthly: To lerr.onstrate the superiority of a careful and scientific manageent of the woodlands over the present crude am istrous methods. In this connection it will probably not be uninteresting U ir readers to present some facts con- i '.allied in the memorial presented tc jongress by Mr. George S. Powell and velj the dent and secretary of the ■la i ion. These gentlemen, among oth ?.r things say: "In Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee (or mine definite!} 11 the lie.-ui ni: the l In ■ '•.> Moun tains, the Balsom mountains, and the Black and Craggy mountal . I, Is found not only the culmination of the Appa- highett mount! east of the lofiy western rani ^^^~ Forty-Three Mountains Of 6,000 fe.-i and upwards In altitude as well as a great number In Inl height, all clothed with virgin fo and Intersected by deep \-':i . t abounding in brooks, rivers, and rfalls, combine to make this a region of unsurpassed attra Standing upon the summit of these sublime heights the eye often seeks In vain for the bare ntain side—the evidence of the devastating axe—and below one stretches out a view magnificently meautiful." And in speaking further of the natural beauty of the forests of the Southern Appalachian system, they say: "No other portion of our country displays a richness of sylva equal to that found in the highest mountains of the Southern Appalachian region, in the variety of its hardwood and conifers." And Professor Gray, the great botanist has stated, that, he "encountered a greater number of indigenous trees In a trip of 30 miles through Western North Carolina than can be observed in.a trip from Turkey to England, through Europe, or from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky mountain plateau." In the mountains of Western North Carolina, the rhododendron and the kalmia have their home and the mountain flora of the north and of the south have their meeting place there, and it' is the only place where Distinctive Southern Mountain Trees may be found side by side with those of the north. The trees in this region are often of immense size and height, many being from five to seven feet in diameter and one hundred and fifty- feet high. It is in this section that the largest area of virgin forest in the South Atlantic region is found, and the deciduous and evergreen trees, among other varities of timber, are unexcelled I | upon the American continent.

This is one of two notebooks assembled by the Appalachian National Park Association that includes documents and news clipping about the organization. The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Although housed in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization was a multi-state effort, attracting representatives from seven southern states. One of the highlights of the group’s activities was a convention held in 1902 to which 1,500 people attended. The association lobbied Congress for the creation of a park, but with limited success. The association disbanded in 1905.
