Abstract
THE ninth annual report of this voluntary society, which attempts to bring together those interested in trees, their planting, cultivation and protection, shows that it is still active and growing in membership (“The Men of the Trees”.Ninth Year's Report and Review of the Tree Year 1933. Pp. 36 + 4 plates. London: Hon. Secretary, 32 Warwick Road, S.W.5. 6d.). Whilst the death duties cause the break up of many old well-wooded estates and realisation upon their timber, the Forestry Commission still suffers under a cut of £400,000, so that its planting programme is inevitably cut down. Under these conditions, there is ample room for the activities of this society, which in its ninth annual report gives an extensive account of an important statement upon the position of forestry in the Empire made at the annual meeting of the society by Prof. Troup, of the Imperial Forestry Institute, Oxford.
