"Report of Pennsylvania Forestry Commission", published in 1896: 1895, pt. 2.

For her time, Mira Lloyd Dock was an exceptional woman: a university-trained botanist, lecturer, women’s club leader, activist in the City Beautiful movement, and public official—the first woman to be appointed to Pennsylvania’s state government. In her twelve years on the Pennsylvania Forest Commission, she allied with the likes of J. T. Rothrock, Gifford Pinchot, and Dietrich Brandis to help bring about a new era in American forestry. She was also an integral force in founding and fostering the Pennsylvania State Forest Academy in Mont Alto, which produced generations of Pennsylvania foresters before becoming Penn State's Mont Alto campus. Though much has been written about her male counterparts, Mira Lloyd Dock and the Progressive Era Conservation Movement is the first book dedicated to Mira Lloyd Dock and her work. Susan Rimby weaves these layers of Dock’s story together with the greater historical context of the era to create a vivid and accessible picture of Progressive Era conservation in the eastern United States and Dock’s important role and legacy in that movement.

Excerpt from Report of the Department of Forestry of the State of Pennsylvania for the Years 1914-1915 The Department of Forestry is anxious that the people of Pennsylvania shall enjoy the State Forests as camping, hunting, and fishing grounds, and every possible facility consistent with the pro tection and development of the Forests will be furnished our people to this end. The recreation and enjoyment to be obtained in the woods is being more and more appreciated. The hunters, fish ermen, campers, and picnickers are among the staunchest friends of forestry, and to them we confidently look for better protection of the State Forests from year to year, as well as greater care in their use of the forest. The large number of forest fires attributed to campers, hunters, and fishermen should soon be materially decreased. It is not possible to have beautiful recreation grounds and forest fires in the same place. Neither is it possible to have fish and game in abundance 0n burned areas. The sooner this fact is indelibly burned upon the memory of all of us the more careful we will 'all become of the way we conduct ourselves in the woods.
