Douai Boerker is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the book provides a thorough introduction to forestry as a critical national issue, describing the historical context of forest conservation in the U.S. It highlights how the depletion of forest resources has led to significant ecological and economic challenges, such as flooding and erosion. The author shares insights from his personal experience with the United States Forest Service, underscoring the monumental task of managing over 155 million acres of forested land.
