The Forestry Bulletins were produced by the Department of Forestry (now the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture). Authored by members of the Department of Forestry, these bulletins deal with topics relevant to East Texas silviculture and forestry in general, including Loblolly, Shortleaf and Slash Pines, forest conservation in Texas and the geography of the region. The entire run of bulletins can be found here.
