Abstract

In studying the recent movements in this state towards conservation and development of natural resources, I was primarily interested in determining what has been accomplished, what methods were used, what the results are to date, and what should be done in the future. As a guide in organizing the scattered bits of data now available in each of the special fields concerned, I attempted to answer the following set of questions: 1.What is the relationship between conservation and development? 2.Why should they be parallel in any unified plan of action? 3.What are the causes and effects of conservation and development economically and culturally? 4.What basic resources are available in this state? Where? 5.Which resources are being improperly handled, neglected, or overlooked? 6.What forces, both human and natural, are wasting our resources? 7.What is the role of planning in the past, present, and future of Oregon? 8.What function should general education have? 9.What agencies have been or are taking part in both planning and active work? 10.What new methods could be practically applied? 11.What is the function of business in relation to conservation?
