PLANTING TREES
BRITISH COLUMBIA’S PLAN. VICTORIA, B.C. In British Columbia’s 1941 reforestation programme, 300 men have been busy planting trees at the rate of a million a week. Within six weeks’ time a total of some six million trees were planted, chiefly Douglas fir, with some Pacific Coast hemlock, western red cedar, balsam and spruce included. Trees are being taken from the green timbers nursery near New Westminster. Planting will be carried on to an even greater extent next year, when the forest service will also be able to draw on the Campbell River nurseries on Vancouver Island.
