Forest Quotes
-
We have now felled forest enough everywhere, in many districts far too much.

George Perkins Marsh

No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest.

John Muir

I can recall, as a young adult, running through the rain forest at the Forest Reserve, at times feeling a sense of fear when I felt I was in danger. In danger of confronting an ugly snake or a coral snake, which represented the greatest fear of someone in a rural area when you traverse the forest.

Those forest reserves are not merely for the convenience and benefit of the people near them, but they are the property of the nation and for its greatest good. It is unreasonable to suppose that they should be destroyed or imperiled for any local convenience, as a mere present to men engaged in one local industry.
John Muir

Charles Dickens
