Printed on the Giori press in yellow, brown, and green, and issued in sheets of 50.
The 4-cent Forest Conservation stamp was issued on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt, one of the earliest forest conservationists in the country.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged vertically, printed on the Giori press in yellow, brown, and green, and issued in sheets of 50.
This stamp features the major aspects of forest conservation, including new growth of young trees and the harvesting of mature timber under scientific forest management; home and shelter for wildlife and birds; and protected watersheds. The wording "Forest Conservation" is arranged in the upper left portion and across the top of the stamp in dark Gothic, and "U. S. Postage 4¢" appears across the bottom in white-face Gothic.
This stamp was released on October 27, 1958, at Tucson, Ariz., on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the American Forestry Association.
