Adjacent to Area Fenced Off and Grazed by Sheep. 
Photographed three years after clear cutting and one month after the completion of the grazing 
experiment on control plot. • 
Fig. 2.— Luxuriant Stand of Aspen Reproduction as it Appears on Fenced Plot 
Three Years After Clear Cutting. 
Over 30,000 specimens, approximately 75 per cent of the terminal shoots of which are beyond the 
height oi sheep browsing, are growing on the area. At this stage of growth there is very little 
clanger ot sheep thinning the stand beyond the maximum timber-carrying capacity of the lands, 
the removal of part of such a luxuriant stand by browsing would be a distinct benefit. The 
unclerstory of herbaceous vegetation is luxuriant and consists of the choicest of forage species.
