Reforestation Plans Are Meeting Marked Success

Redwood manufacturers of California are fast awakening to the importance of reforesting their cut-over land.s and one of the leaders in this essential work is the Union Lumber company.

Some time ago the Union l-.lumber company adopted a permanent policy of reforestation and now, as fast as their timber is cut, immediate provision is made to replace it.

"About twelve years ago the Union I-.,umber compeny first began the work of reforestation," says Otis R. Johnson, "when we planted. several hund.red. aeres of eut-over lands to eucalyptus. The theory of this plantation was that the eucalyptus itself would have some value and that planting this fast-growing tree would. encourage the volunteer second growth redwood, fir, tan oak and other species which naturally grow on cut-over redwood. lands. ft was thought that the eucalyptus would outstrip the other growth in height and the natural growths, being shaded., would reach up to get the light. It is clifficult to tell whether this accomplished much, if anything, although some experts tell us that it has helped.

"Some time after the planting of eucalyptus, the Union Lum:ber company began the most important of its reforestation work in eut-over redwood areas, aud that is the protection of cut-over areas from fire. 'We later interested. a number of other timber owners and operators in Mendocino county to the extent that a fire protection association was formed. This assoeiation still is in active existence and its work has been very efreetive.

"About a year ago our company engaged Major David T. Mason to advise us in reforestation matters which, in the order of their importanee, were: fire protection of cutover red.wood areas, planting trees of various species on these areas and thinning, under careful management, the second growth. I

"Mr.-Masoo's emf,loyment resulted in the formation of a forestry department und.er Mr. Swales, who, for some years prior to his employment with our company, was with the U. S. Forest service. 'We now have another man in the tlipartment with Mr. Swales and their time is entirely taken up with this reforestation work which includes all branches of activity already m'entioned as weII as supervision of a nursery for seeding and rearing the various species of trees preliminary to replanting these trees on cut-over lands.
