300-400 fence posts. 



(6) Publicity 



The park is still a growing centre of interest and many picnics and gatherings 

 were held there. 



People are attracted to this beauty spot and in coming to see it they come 

 in direct contact with the results of reforestation. This is a wonderful object 

 lesson to them. Transient visitors to this station are becoming more numerous 

 each year. Every means is taken to show them the benefits arising from re- 

 forestation as carried on in this province. A show case displaying our bulletins 

 has been placed in the park. 



As usual the school fair was held here and was bigger and better than ever. 



During the fall an exhibit was displayed at various fall fairs in the district 

 and a keen interest was taken in our work. 



This summer the highway from Barrie to the west boundary of the nursery 

 was paved. This combined with the growth that the station is beginning to 

 show will in a few years make it the centre of attraction for tourists as well as 

 the surrounding district. 



Sand Banks 



No extensive planting was done on the Sand Banks this year. Some brush 

 was drawn from local farms and spread on the sand and the barrier fences were 

 maintained. A few trees were distributed locally, but no extensive shipping of 

 stock was carried out.
