 cost price, and exemption from taxes for 20 years 

 is granted for reforested lands. Expropriation of 

 waste lands declared as of public interest is provided, if 

 owners object to enforced reforestation. Some 

 275,000 acres have so far been placed under the forestry 

 regime. 



There are provisions for forestry education in the 

 School of Agriculture at Lisbon, or the education 

 for the higher positions in the forest service may be 

 secured at German or French forest schools, and some 

 have secured it at Vallambrosa.
