Bernard Fernow (1851 - 1923) was the chief forester of the USDA in the late 1800s. He believed that forests were part of the "great economy of nature". Preceded Gifford Pinchot as the head of the forestry service, where Fernow's chief policy goal was to protect the forest against fires. In 1907, Fernow became the founding Dean of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Forestry, Canada's first university school devoted to forest science.
