Historical Note

The Montana Office of State Forester was established by the legislature in 1909. Prior to that year the functions of the office had been performed by the State Board of Land Commissioners (see RS 29) and its administrative arms, the Register of State Lands and the State Land Agent. With statehood, Montana received from the Federal Government land sections 16 and 36 to support public schools. The State Board of Land Commissioners was given the right to select lands "in lieu of" lands already taken for homesteads, mining claims, Indian Reservations, and railroad grants. Some of these lands were in large blocks which became the basis for several state forests including the Swan River State Forest and the Stillwater State Forest.

The 1909 legislature established the Office of State Forester, and its governing body the State Board of Forestry, under the Board of Land Commissioners. The new Office was given the authority to administer the state's forest lands, to fight forest fires, and teach classes at the State University. The 1909 law also established procedures for evaluating state timber lands, administering timber sales, arranging for brush removal, protection of watersheds, and other administrative tasks. During the 1940s the State Forester also served as State Park Commissioner.

From 1971 to 1981 the Forestry Division was part of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and then was returned to the Department of State Lands. State Foresters included Charles Jungberg (1910-1914), John C. VanHook (1914-1921), Robert P. McLaughlin (1921-1926), Rutledge Parker (1926-1954), Gareth Moon (1955-1980), and Gary G. Brown (1981-1992). Assistant State Foresters included L.L. White, Emil A. Anderson, and Robert W. Arnold.

Content Description

Records consist primarily of subject files (1940s-1970s) for forestry- and conservation-oriented organizations, state agencies, and federal agencies, and topical subject files. These files include information on the broad range of the Forestry Division's functions including forest fire protection, insect control, timber harvesting, forest research, land use, land exchanges, and a myriad of related topics. In addition there are legal documents including cooperative agreements on forest fire protection, community forestry programs, real estate appraisal, tree planting, and other topics; maps, including land classification, land condition, and land ownership plats; organizational materials, including administrative manuals, organization charts, and work plans; reports, including cooperative forest management reports, forest fire reports, monthly narrative reports, narrative reports of meetings attended, and individual reports on many topics.

Some of the collection's most valuable material is in the miscellany series, including land and timber evaluation sheets for each piece of state forest land, describing in considerable detail the types of plants present, the value of the timber, and the watershed conditions. This series also includes various types of permits issued by the Forestry Division, including Christmas tree permits, special use permits, timber permits, and timber sales.

There are subgroups for the Montana State Board of Forestry, consisting of minutes (1947, 1951, 1955, 1962); for the Civilian Conservation Corps/ Emergency Conservation Work including printed material and subject files on six forest CCC camps in western Montana; the Forest Lands Advisory Commission , consisting of a report (1945) to the governor and materials on which the report was based; and the \b Montana Rural Fire Fighters Service , consisting of correspondence (1944-1947), legal documents (1942-1946), minutes (1942-1945), annual and monthly reports (1944-1960), a subject file on cooperation with the Cooperative Extension Service, and other materials.

Earlier material on the management of state forest lands is included in the Board of Land Commissioners Records (Record Series 29).

Processing Note :  Processing Note:

The Forestry Division used many filing systems over the years, but has always had what is basically a subject file approach. From the 1930s to 1940s broad subject categories were used and these were subdivided (e.g. FIRE COOPERATION--SLASH DISPOSAL). Sometime in the mid 1950s the agency switched to a numerical file system. Subjects were given decimal numbers similar in concept to Dewey library numbers. State, federal and private organizations were given a combination of a two-digit number and an acromyn for their name (e.g. 82-USFS: 82 for federal government and USFS for U.S. Forest Service). In many cases un-numbered files were merged into the new numbering system, in other cases they were not. Several major changes were made in the numbering system over the years in addition to very frequent minor changes. One file folder sometimes had 2 or 3 different numbers, with the numbers inside the folder often disagreeing with the number on the folder label.

The processor decided it was not possible to retain the numbered system. The basic concept of subject files divided up into agency files, organization files, and topical files has been retained, however. File numbers appearing either on the folder label or on the materials inside the folder have been listed in brackets at the end of the folder title, for reference purposes. Copies of the different versions of the file code are at the end of the collection.
