History of Timber Resource Use in the Development of Cache Valley, Utah

A History of Timber Resource Use in the Development of Cache Valley, Utah by Douglas M. Bird. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Wildland Resources, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, 1964.

It has long been realized that the forests and forest products contributed very significantly toward the economic development of the Western United States. However, the extent of this contribution over a relatively small area has never been fully analyzed. Therein lies the primary justification for this paper. The author hopes that the readers of this paper will, through their reading, gain some appreciation of the major role the forest and its products played in the development of the western community.... There are several important questions that this study should try to answer. Among these are: What products were most widely taken from Cache Valley's forests? Which geographical areas were the most heavily logged and for what reasons? To what extent did the early forests contribute to the economic well-being of the early communities? To what extent have these forests been depleted and what were the principle causes of this depletion? These questions and many more are to be answered, though some more completely than others.
