AGREEMENT FORESTS 



The Agreement Forest stand improvement program includes the administration 

 and the silvicultural operations carried out on County, Conservation Authority, 

 and Township forests under agreement with the Department for management. 



Revenue in excess of $130,000 was received from the sale of products derived 

 from thinning, improvement, and salvage cutting in the Agreement Forests. These 

 treatments, as well as non-revenue-producing operations, such as release of 

 plantations, were carried out on approximately 5,300 acres to improve growing 

 conditions in the forests and to provide local employment.
