The Cradle of Forestry in America Interpretive Association has recently announced that a new documentary entitled First in Forestry: Carl Schenck and the Biltmore Forest School is premiering this weekend right on the hallowed grounds where Dr. Schenck first plied his trade in America, the Biltmore Estate. Dr. Carl Schenck was a German forester who came to America during the 1890's and established our first forestry school.
The 1-hour film was produced by Asheville's own Bonesteel films on behalf of the Forest History Society. Tickets for the premiere can be purchased through the First in Forestry website and proceeds will go toward promoting the film on UNC-TV. Based on the trailer, this looks to be a high-quality, informative romp through the woods. And the actor portraying Dr. Schenck has a fantastic mustache!
