Excerpt from Impacts of State and Private Programs on Forest Resources and Industries in the South
Concern for the ravages of fire in southern forests was reflected in the establishment of a forest commission in Alabama in 1907. Interest had been stimulated by Charles Mohr, who was employed by the Forest Service to do preliminary surveys and prepare a working plan for some lands in central Alabama. His comments about the damage to young growth caused by fire and observations about the loss of productivity of some burned-over lands being farmed for cotton gained support for his efforts and led to the introduction of this bill in the legislature.
