Forestry for Tasmania

Forestry has never received the attention its importance deserves from either our governing or our scientific bodies. I know that occasionally sundry learned Fellows of this Society have alluded to the subject, and also that our Governments for a few short years employed conservators, but except in one report of Mr Perrin I do not know of any attempt to seriously contemplate the subject.
Certainly it has never taken its proper place as a matter of policy and public utility.
