Abstract
In 1903, tree planting began on the Dismal River Forest Reserve in an effort to avoid what, at the time, appeared to be very real prospects of a future timber shortage. One hundred years later, the Forest Reserve is the Nebraska National Forest, and ideas of a national timber shortage have been replaced by a compelling need to thin forests to prevent large, catastrophic fires.
