CONSERVATION MUSEUM
NOW AT CALEDONIA PARK

A Conservation Museum was
dedicated in Caledonia Park, with
appropriate exercises, following
the setting apart of a portion of
the Caledonia Park, located In
the Michaux Forest, by the De
partment of Forests and Waters
OF the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, to be used for the purpose
of demonstrating various phases
OF conservation of natural re-
sources. The entire project has
been designed to show the public
under natural surroundings, as
many as possible of the approved
methods OF conservation of natur-
al resources. A Wild life preserve
will be modelled along similar
lines to that at Bear Mountain
Park, New York.
