Toumey was born in Lawrence Michigan on April 17, 1865. He was a botanist with an interest in cacti. Toumey earned his undergraduate degree in 1889 and an M.Sc. in 1893 from Michigan State Agricultural College. He worked at the University of Arizona from 1891-1898, eventually becoming a Botany professor. Toumey also became a botanist at the State Agricultural Experiment Station. He pursued a strong interest in forestry. His first formal field work got underway in 1899 when he became superintendent of tree planting in the Division of Forestry, USDA. He later became professor of silviculture at Yale School of Forestry - a school he helped establish. Toumey wrote several renowned books including Foundations of Silviculture Upon an Ecological Basis. Toumey became Dean of the Yale School of Forestry and held the position until his retirement in 1922. After retiring, Toumey kept up his research at the School of Forestry’s property in Keene, New Hampshire. He died in New Haven on May 05, 1932.

- Género
- Yale School of Forestry
- The school was founded in 1900 as the Yale Forest School to provide high-level forestry training for American conditions. At the urging of Yale alumnus Gifford Pinchot, his parents endowed the two-year postgraduate program. At the time, Pinchot was serving as Bernhard Fernow's successor as Chief of the Division of Forestry (predecessor of the U.S. Forest Service, USFS). It was then, that Pinchot released two foresters from the division to start the school
- fellow Yale graduate Henry Solon Graves and James William Toumey. Graves became the School's first dean and Toumey its second.
- In 1915, Yale School of Forestry's second dean, James Toumey, became one of the "charter members", along with William L. Bray of the New York State College of Forestry, by then re-established at Syracuse University, and Raphael Zon, of the Ecological Society of America. In 1950, the activist wing of that society formed The Nature Conservancy.
