About the author

E. E. Nuuttila is credited in public-domain and library records as one of the contributors to Forest Trees of Illinois: How to Know Them, a practical handbook produced for Illinois readers interested in native and commonly seen trees. The book presents straightforward identification help rather than academic theory, which suggests a hands-on role in forestry education.

The edition most easily verified today describes the book as revised in 1955 and identifies Nuuttila as "State Forester E. E. Nuuttila." That connection places the author within Illinois state forestry work and helps explain the book's practical tone: it was meant to help ordinary readers, landowners, and students recognize tree species in the field.

Biographical details beyond that are not readily confirmed from the sources available here, so it is best to treat Nuuttila as a lightly documented but clearly useful contributor to mid-20th-century forestry writing in Illinois.
