APPLICATION 



EXAMINATION OF LANDS SUITABLE 

 FOR REFORESTATION 



MASSACHUSETTS STATE FORESTER, 



6 BEACON STREET, BOSTON. 



The State Forester is empowered, under chapter 478, Acts of 1908, 

 to accept, on behalf of the Commonwealth, gifts of land to be held and 

 managed for the purpose of experiment and illustration in forest man- 

 agement and for reforestation. 



The owners of land acquired under this act, or their heirs and as- 

 signs, may redeem the land from the Commonwealth at any time within 

 ten years, upon payment to the Commonwealth of the amount expended 

 in improvements and maintenance; provided, however, that there shall 

 be included in the deed of reconveyance a restriction requiring that in 

 the future the cutting of trees on this land shall be in accordance with 

 modern forestry methods. 



" SECTION 8. The state forester shall re-plant or otherwise manage 

 all land acquired by the Commonwealth and held by it under the pro- 

 visions of this act, in such manner as will, in his judgment, produce the 

 best forest growth both as to practical forestry results and protection 

 of water supplies." 



Upon receipt, this request will be placed on file, and you will be in- 

 formed, in order of application, approximately when the examination 

 can be made, and a mutual date can then be decided upon. 



It is always more satisfactory to personally meet on the property the 

 owner or party most interested. In this way a definite understanding 

 can be had as to future undertakings. 



When sending in this application, a brief description of the land will 

 assist us. 



With the above understanding, I desire to have an examination made 



of a tract or tracts of land of approximately acres, located 



in the town of county of State of 



Massachusetts.
