The Division of Reforestation furnished a total of 

 23,351,4^3 units of nursery stock for all purposes during the year. 

 This is nearly three million more than in any previous year. Land 

 was acquired and a new nursery is being established near Englehart. 

 Targets for production of nursery stock vrere maintained at 30 

 million trees annually. As the demands for nursery stock are 

 greatly in excess of supplies, plans have been made to establish 

 additional nurseries and to increase production targets next year by 

 25% to a total of 40 million trees annually. 



There were 7,757,^59 trees planted on Crown lands during 

 the year, an increase of approximately one and one-half million over 

 the number planted in the last year. Plans have been made to increase 

 this work as additional nursery stock becomes available. 



The number of acres of forest lands managed for counties, 

 townships and conservation authorities having agreements with the 

 Minister under Section 2 of The Forestry Act increased from a total 

 of 110,8SS.5S to 119,044.50 acres during the year. 4,199,075 trees 

 were planted on these lands during the year. 



The number of requests received from private landowners for 

 advice in planning and carrying out reforestation and woodlot 

 management work continued to increase. Every effort has been made 

 to meet these requests by supplying general information in the form 

 of pamphlets and bulletins but additional staff is required if we 

 are to give "on the spot" advice and plans to satisfy the needs for 

 these services. There were 16,254,270 trees furnished to private 

 landowners for planting during the year. This is nearly two million 

 more than in any previous year. .
