Moss, Alfred E.

Biographical notes:

Albert E. Moss began his career at Connecticut Agricultural College as an instructor of Forestry in 1914. He became an assistant Professor of Forestry between 1914 and 1927. He eventually rose to the position of full professor of Forestry in 1928 and would hold that position until his retirement in 1943. He is known for his extensive field work on virgin forest tree identification and plantings, documenting logging practices and the rising number of sawmills in the United States, stream and dam improvements, and the restocking of rivers with native fish. He worked in conjunction with the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management to document government timber sales. Although his main focus was on New England forests, primarily Connecticut lands, his fieldwork took him as far as California . He is known at the University of Connecticut for his surveys and mapping of University land.
