G. Hiedson Gould, Glen A. Seaby and George B. Wilder point to young pine trees. The trees were planted at the Watson School Forest in Lewis County in 1928. School districts around the state first began to acquire land for reforestation in 1921. G.H. Gould was the first president of the Empire State Forest Products Association, founded in 1909. This image was created to record the reforestation efforts of the New York State Conservation Department.
