ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

THIS REAPPRAISAL was a Service-wide undertaking. A large group of the best-qualified administrative and research personnel in the several regions and in Washington participated. The project was conducted and the several reports prepared under the general direction of Assistant Chief R. E. Marsh, assisted by V. L. Harper. Much of the preliminary planning was done by Associate Chief E. H. Clapp, who retired before work got under way. The writing of this report was largely the work of R. E. Marsh, C. Edward Belire, and H. Glenn Meginnis. The list of those who took part in analyzing the Nation-wide data or in preparing reports also includes:

In the compilation of basic statistics of land and timber stand, and in varying degree in other phases, the Forest Service had the cooperation of other Federal agencies, State foresters and other State officials, and the American Forestry Association, the latter having started an independent appraisal project in 1944. Many private organizations and individuals contributed in one way or another.
