SUMMARY:America’s First Forest: Carl Schenck & the Asheville Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Join Discover Your Forest and the Deschutes National Forest for a screening of America’s First Forest: Carl Schenck and the Asheville Experiment. The film tells the story of how Carl Schenck realized Frederick Law Olmsted’s vision of introducing forestry to America. It was on George Vanderbilt’s magnificent Biltmore Estate in Asheville\, North Carolina that a 120\,000-acre forest became America’s first scientifically managed forest. Here the nation’s first forestry school was founded\, and the call for creating National Forests in the United States was inspired. Introduction by Jean Nelson Dean\, Public Affairs Officer for the Deschutes National Forest.
