4. DEMONSTRATION PLOTS 



This name is applied to any publicly owned piece of land in close proxi- 

 mity to a travelled road. This land is owned or purchased expressly for the 

 purpose of showing the public in any municipality what may be done for their 

 community by tree planting. These areas may vary in size from one to twenty- 

 five acres. A sign which can be seen from the road is placed on the property 

 and states that the planted area is a demonstration plot and that it is supervised 

 by the Forestry Branch. 



74 Plantations were inspected and advice given when needed to the various 

 municipal owners. 



The following list shows the number of trees planted on demonstration 

 plots during the spring of 1936:
