Jessie was a member of the Australian Forest League, an early environmental group. The group had a journal called The Gum Tree. The first page of the journal set out the league's aims and objects including: the maintenance of our present forest reserves, the setting apart of further areas as forest reserves - more particularly on the main water-sheds and along the banks of rivers and the re-forestation of denuded areas.
We would like to thank Jo Oliver for her kind assistance in cataloguing this work.
