The Indian Forester, started its career as the outcome of a resolution of the forestry conference held at Allahabad in January 1874. The moving spirits in this venture were dedicated foresters like Baden–Powell, Laird, Gamble and Smythies under the able guidance of Dr. Brandis who was the then Inspector General of Forests, with Dr. Schlich as the first honorary editor of the Indian Forester.

The credit for the success of the journal goes to stalwarts like Sir Dr. Brandis, Schlich, Pearson, Ribbentrop, Gamble, Wroughten, Lace, Wilmot, and other dedicated foresters.
