Photographs, largely taken by Wilson, of departmental projects in which he was interested as commissioner of conservation. Many are forest or lake scenes documenting forest fire, wind, erosion, flood, or other damage, particularly in state parks or forests. Others include personnel or activities of forestry staff or private organizations; tracts involved in the Kabetogama land exchange; and state park sites and facilities. This set includes both prints and negatives, many of which do not duplicate each other.
