Roy L. Williams was a forester and conservationist. Born in South Dakota in 1896, Williams joined the U.S. Forest Service as a Ranger at Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota. A staunch conservationist who concerned himself with overgrazing and fire control in the national forests, Williams rose through the ranks of the U.S. Forest Service, eventually serving as U.S. Forest Supervisor at Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest during the 1940s and 1950s. He retired from the U.S. Forest Service as the Regional Fire Control Officer in Denver, Colorado. During the late 1950s, Williams worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as a fire control advisor to the Government of Venezuela. Roy L. Williams passed away in 1963.
