Charles Lathrop Pack

Timberman, Forest Conservationist, And Pioneer In Forest Education

BY ALEXANDRA EYLE

Brief Description:
Charles Lathrop Pack (1857-1937) made his fortune from ruthlessly exploiting inherited forests in Michigan, then suddenly in 1908 he changed his spots and became a conservationist, donating large sums to preserving forests and studying them. As president of the American Forestry Association his methods were still a bit dictatorial and he left to found and fund the American Tree Association. He also founded what was to become the "Victory Garden" movement. A fascinating tale of a contradictory man.
