Abstract:

Papers of Aroline Schmitt concerning her activities in various Wisconsin conservation organizations. The records are fragmentary and include correspondence, reports, minutes, writings, and reference materials concerning groups, government agencies, and issues in which she was interested. During the 1950s, she was particularly involved with the movement to preserve the Flambeau wilderness area of Wisconsin (now Flambeau River State Forest), and in conserving the forests belonging to the Menominee Indians. The collection includes correspondence with conservation leaders Aldo Leopold and Gifford Pinchot, Ernest Swift of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Louis Radke of the Wisconsin Conservation League; and correspondence and newsletters of "Forests," a short-lived national organization headed by Schmitt and Charles H. Stoddard.
