Abstract
THE history of forest research and education in forestry in India has been intimately connected with Dehra Dun for the last fifty years, as the first college for training Indians in forestry was started there in the year 1878. Dehra Dun was chosen because of its favourable position for the study of two important types of Indian forests, those where Sal (Shorea robusta) predominates, and the coniferous forests of the Himalayas, which are all well represented close to Dehra Dun, and also because of its delightful situation and (during most of the year) its favourable climate.
