(2) Improvements 

 Roads. 



It is necessary each year to construct a work road over that part of the sand 

 banks upon which reclamation work is being done. This involves an application 

 of straw which is necessary to give sufficient resistance for moving loads. About 

 one-half mile of such road was made during the year. 



(3) Permanent Planting 



Permanent planting within the nursery was limited to filling in along hedge 

 rows and about the grounds. 



The main body of permanent planting was done on the sand banks for 

 reclamation purposes. Of necessity the work tends to be of a scattered nature 

 due to the fact that certain small areas in the property require replanting from 

 year to year. This will be described later.
