DIVISION OF REFORESTATION 



Extension Forestry 



The increased staff of Zone Foresters has made it possible to complete a 

 survey of markets for woodlot products. Local market directories have been supplied 

 to each District, and a general directory is retained in Head Office. 



A high percentage of private planting sites, and many private woodlots, were 

 inspected. A favourable response to this service was received from landowners. 



A survey of survival in private plantations was completed. Survival of some 

 species was low. This emphasizes the importance of the policy of inspecting private 

 planting sites. 



Nurseries 



Development of the new nursery areas at Saint Williams, Midhurst and 

 Orono continues. The use of chemicals for the purpose of weeding seed beds and 

 transplant beds was initiated, and in general gave promise of reduced costs on this 

 operation.
