PROTECTION AGAINST MAN. 



Some of the advantages of consolidation are : 



(a) Greater facility for keeping the boundary line in order, 

 and at a reduced cost. 



(b) Saving in protection expenses, in work of staff, and less 

 liability to cases of misappropriation and damage by outsiders, 

 especially in the case of danger from tire. 



(c) Increase in the productiveness of the forest. Fewer 

 roads are required ; damage is reduced, whether it is caused 

 to the forest by frost, storms, etc., or to adjoining farm-land, 

 by overhanging trees or by game sheltering in the forest. 

 Small private estates enclosed in a forest frequently encourage 

 poaching, or unfair destruction of game.
