Administrative, program, and curricular records of Trees for Tomorrow, Inc. of Eagle River, Wis., a non-profit conservation and environmental education organization, acknowledged as the oldest conservation education center in the Midwest. Established through member subscriptions from seventeen Wisconsin paper and utility industries, Trees for Tomorrow worked in cooperation with state and county agencies in reforesting the cutover region of northern Wisconsin. The focus of the organization has changed over time but major components have included tree planting and distribution, forest management services, and conservation education. The collection contains annual, staff monthly, and program reports; program statistical data; committee and governing body minutes and supporting materials; financial records; general correspondence and subject files; correspondence with member paper mills and utility companies; and public relations materials. Also included are administrative records concerning forest management services and camp educational workshops, forest management plans and maps developed for private landowners, curricular and program records relating to the educational workshops and classes offered at the Trees camp, and personal papers of executive director, M. N. “Mully” Taylor. A small photograph series contains views of workshops and tours, camp facilities, forest management activities, early tree planting machines, and miscellaneous images.
