onclusion, the establishment of the New York State Collegeof Forestry, with its experimental forest area within the limits of the proposed StateForest Preserve, must stand as an earnest that, ultimately, technical forest manage-ment is expected and intended, and not merely leaving Nature to take care of theforest cover. There is, to be sure, no haste necessary to engage in such technical work; buteven now the Commission is in position to do considerable preliminary work andprepare for the future. There can be no question as to the first step in attacking the problem of technicalmanagement. As the physician bases his treatment on a diagnosis, so the adminis-trator of a property must first become acquainted with its conditions. The first step,therefore, towards a technical management of the States forest property must be aforest survey; i. e., a technical description of the conditions of each parcel in such amanner that its character, conditions, and location can readily be referred to.
