Ralph E. Brock, c. 1903
- ... that Ralph E. Brock (pictured) was the first academically trained African-American forester in the United States? Source: https://paheritage.wpengine.com/article/reviving-revising-reputation-ralph-elwood-brock/ "The Pennsylvania Negro Business Directory for 1910 identified him as “probably the only experienced forester of the colored race in Pennsylvania. He has spent a great deal of his time making a study of this very important question: how to preserve our forests.”"
