This coloring booklet answers the question of, How the Biltmore Forest School Come to Be. You might ask the question, WHY did the Biltmore Forest School come to be?

The following answer will help provide an understanding of the greatest conservation challenge of America's history.

Until the end of the 19th century, forestry in America was primarily a cut out and get out operation. But, as the 1800s came to a close, land owners, and the forest industry, realized that the endless forests they were cutting were not so endless after all. Most of the forests in the Northeast had been cut much earlier for the production of charcoal, forests in the Midwest were cut to provide housing for the settlers going west, and much of the Southeast had been cut down a century earlier to provide land for planting of cotton. What remained of our supposedly endless forests were being rapidly harvested, and not being replaced. That the end was in sight became especially obvious to the timber harvesters in the Pacific Northwest when they arrived at the Pacific Ocean.
