Abstract

THE death of Lord Lovat on February 18 will prove a great loss to forestry both in Great Britain and throughout the Empire. To his strong personality, tireless energy and great grasp of detail, Great Britain owes it to-day that she has a Forestry Commission in being, a considerable addition to the afforested area, and, it may be justifiably hoped, a settled forest policy. In future years it may come to be recognised that Lord Lovat's greatest claim to remembrance by his fellow countrymen will be the great part he played in a resuscitation of the national forestry question, which had practically lain dormant for more than a century.
