FO CONSERVATION
« BRITISH COLUMBIA PLANTING SCHEME. VANCOUVER. Canada. Plans have been formulated to commence the reforestation of the areas of British Columbia, on Canada’s Pacific Coast, which have and are being denuded from their stands of the worldfamous Douglas fir. A large-scale programme of planting, sufficient to restore more than 10,000 acres of land annually, commencing three years from now, has been announced by the provincial gov'ernment of British Columbia. At the government nurseries near New Westminster, there are already 3.000.000 small trees which will be ready for planting in 1940 and it is expected that by 1942 the nurseries will provide 10,000,000 trees, sufficient to reforest 10,000 acres. The following year the available stock will be further increased. This reforestation scheme of the British Columbian Government is probably the most important step in forest conservation ever attempted in Canada. It is expected that it will eventualy form the basis of a policy to keep all forest lands in the province in constant production.
