The Yale Picture Collection, with over a half million images, documents most aspects of life at Yale. In the section relating to the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies are photographs of early twentieth-century camps which served as laboratories for the students.

The camp represented on this postcard was located in Milford, Pennsylvania, on the property of the Pinchot family estate. Gifford Pinchot, Yale College 1889, was an early advocate of conservation efforts and served as Chief of the United States Forest Service and Governor of Pennsylvania. His family provided the funds to endow the School of Forestry in 1900.
