Introduction
By C. Warren Fairbanks, Chief Park Naturalist
One of the objects of the Crater Lake Natural History Association is
"to aid in the distribution of information on all subjects pertaining to
the park." It is in keeping with this aim that this 1955 number of
Nature Notes from Crater Lake is presented. Reprinting of
Nature Notes articles is encouraged; it is requested that
acknowledgment be given both to the author and to this publication.
Each summer a dedicated National Park Service interpretive staff
presents an excellent program of talks, nature trips, exhibits, and
other informational services. The material found in the following
articles is the result of staff members' activities seldom brought to
the attention of the visitor -- the gathering of new information. Such
efforts both document and give new information for talks.
The Crater Lake Natural History Association was founded in 1942 to
promote and assist the interpretive program offered park visitors, to
further the investigation of subjects of popular interest and
importance. and to aid in the distribution of information on all
subjects pertaining to the park. Toward this end it sponsors Nature
Notes from Crater Lake and operates a publications sales counter,
the proceeds from which are used entirely to support this work. A list
of items for sale may be obtained by writing to the Executive Secretary,
Crater Lake Natural History Association, Box 97, Crater Lake,
Oregon.
(Harry C. Parker was Chief Park Naturalist in 1955.)
