When Franklin D. Roosevelt ini
tiated the massive Shelter licit
Project nearly 50 years ago, Walter
Bagley, then a college teenager,
wanted to be a part of it.
Bagley, now a forestry re
searcher at UNL, said he was first
interested in the project because
of the high demand for workers.
The Shelter Belt Project called
for a 200-mile wide stretch of
land to extend from the Canadian
border, south through Nebraska
and down into Texas. But his
studies at Colorado A&M kept
Bagley away from the project and
he kept his concentration on ani
mal husbandry.
"I took up animal husbandry
because I knew what it took to do
it he said.
But after talking with friends
and instructors, Bagley decided
his interests were elsewhere. He
switched to forestry and has
studied it ever since.
After graduating from college,
Bagley said, he faced a similar
dilemma many forestry graduates
experience today.
'They don't have anywhere to
work " he said.
The expansion of emergency
jobs in the Civil Conservation
Corps and the Shelter Belt pro
gram were diminishing by the
time Bagley graduated from A&M,
so he returned to his home in
Yuma City, Colo.
In the next year, Bagley applied
at graduate programs around the
Midwest but didn't get an im
mediate response. He joined a
CCC camp in Wyoming and be
cause of his four years in college
ROTC, became a young officer.

But things began happening
for Bagley three months later
when Iowa State University of
fered him a forestry research as
slstantship in their master's de
gree program. He accepted.
Bageley said his life has been
filled with "dream-come-trues,"
When he graduated from Iowa
State in 1 939, one of those dreams
became reality. He accepted a
research position with the Shelter
Belt Project and remained there
until its demise in 1942.
The forestry researcher turned
soldier when he was called to
serve his country in World War II.
Upon his return, Bagley landed a
job with the Nebraska Soil Con
servation Service. He worked there
until 1955 when he answered yet
another call to war this time in
Korea.
Bagley came home again un
scarred and immediately began
working for the Dundy and Hitch
cock County SCS and later as a
forestry researcher for UNL in
1959.
Bagleys last 25 years have been
memorable. He helped start the
three improvement efforts on the
Horning State Farm near Platts
mouth in 1959.

ordered all farms donated to the
university to be sold. One of the
exceptions was the I lorning Farm,
because it was bequeathed to the
university for forestry research.
"It was a grain livestock farm
with only 20 acres of native wood
lot. Today, after much renovation,
the farm contains more than 120
different tree species," he said.
Bagley has worked with many
different types of tree shelter pat
terns and helped establish the
Mead Windbreak Lab. Trees were
planted at the site to study the
effect of wind protection on crop
yields.
Besides studying trees and pol
lination methods, attending con
ferences around the country and
"developing disease-resistant
varieties among hardwood trees,"
Bagley finds time to tend his
hobby his Christmas tree farm
east of Lincoln. He calls this
another one of his "dream-come-trues."
'The farm is a way of putting
into practice what might be useful
to farmers. The farm has improved
the habitat for ourselves and for
the animals," he said. "We're just
trying to do what everybody else
should be doing too. Take care of
this land."
