Woods and Forests in Denmark. 



According to the preliminary results of the inquiry under- 

 taken in 1896 by the State Statistical Bureau at Copenhagen 

 into the utilisation of the land in Denmark, the area occupied 

 by forests and woods in Denmark in 1896 was 664,890 

 acres, as compared with 559,257 acres in 1888. The figures 

 for the earlier year included a certain acreage under 

 hedges and shelter plantations, while those for 1896 are 

 exclusive of this acreage, which then amounted to 23,021 

 acres. 



Of the area ascertained at the more recent inquiry to be 

 under forests and woods, 262,687 acres were occupied by 

 beech trees and 225,370 acres by conifers. Copse was 

 credited with 17,555 acres, and 69,968 acres were returned as 



land to be planted."
