Excerpt from Trailside Interdependence: Being an Account of the Building of a Trailside Museum Exhibit to Show That a State of True Independence Does Not Exist in the World of Nature, Report for 1932The T railside Museum was initiated by the American Association of Museums, and through a grant of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, funds were provided for the Museum building which was erected under the direction of Major William A. Welch. The fifty-seven acre area for the Nature Trails and building was provided by the Com missioners of the Palisades Interstate Park. At the request of the Commissioners, the American Museum of Natural History undertook the direction and Operation of the project. Thus, since 1927, the maintenance and operation of the Nature Trails and of the Trailside Museum has been a joint endeavor of the American Museum and the Commissioners of the Park.Through the generosity of one of its trustees, Mr. Felix M. Warburg, the American Museum has provided for the entire personnel and the major part of maintenance expenses. The Park Commissioners have cooperated in the educational undertaking by the erection of two cabins to house the staff, and have aided in the trail building and other con struction work generally.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
