junior Rangers. During the summer months, the Department 

 employs 17-year-old students under the lunior Forest 

 Ranger Program. Some of these students spent part of their 

 time doing work for Timber Branch. A total of 12,000 man- 

 days were devoted to cone collection, nursery work, tree 

 planting and forest tending. Eleven thousand acres were 

 treated under this project. 



Correctional Camps. The Department supplied technical 

 guidance for forestry programs carried out by seven forestry 

 camps operated by the provincial Department of Correc- 

 tional Services and the Beaver Creek Correctional Camp 

 operated by the federal Department of Justice Correctional 

 Camps. 



The seven provincial camps provided 20,000 man-days of 

 labour for this Department. The men cleared roads, camp 

 sites, fireguards and compartment boundaries; they repaired 

 fences, built bridges, collected cones and burned brush; and 

 they planted trees, pruned and thinned trees, and removed 

 cull trees from stands totalling 2,400 acres. 



The men from the federal camp worked 2,700 man-days 

 for this Department in pruning, thinning, cull tree removal, 

 and related forestry work.
