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 manage- 

 ment 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 108 to 142. 

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

 that 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.

6. HIGHWAY PLANTING 



During the spring of 1935 highway planting was undertaken on a large 

 scale for the first time by the Ontario Forestry Branch. This was for the 

 purpose of beautifying provincial highways by planting trees at all deviations, 

 intersections and burrow pits where it was thought advisable to do so. A 

 total of 632,057 trees were planted.
