DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1934 107 



5. Demonstration Woodlots 



This name is applied to privately-owned areas of woodland adjacent to a 

 travelled road. These areas are used expressly for the purpose of showing 

 the public what may be done by applying forestry methods to the management 

 of the woodlot for continuous production. An officer of the Ontario Forestry 

 Branch advises the owner on improvement cuttings, thinnings and any planting 

 that may be required to bring the woodlot into proper condition. 



The number of demonstration woodlots was increased from 56 to 108. 

 A sign which can be seen from the road is placed on the property and states 

 the woodlot is a demonstration woodlot and that it is supervised by the Forestry 

 Branch. It is planned to have at least one in each township. The following 

 list gives the number and the location by counties.
