No other lun-rber producing region of 'the United States has accom,plished as much or gone as far along the lines of technical forest management as the lumber operators ,of the Redwood Region. At the present time, there are as many as 1O resident technical foresters, mostly graduates of ,the Forestry School of the University of California, who are carrying on forestry studies along forest management, fire protection, reforestation, etc. Companies representing 90/o of the total redwood cut are interestedtin this forestry and reforestation movement, and have employed the services of Major David T. Mason, consulting forester of Portlancl, Oregon, who has the general .supervision of the work.

When compared with the actual planting operations carried on throughout the whole United States in 1922, it is apparent,that the redwood operators of California have arranged for an extensive reforestation program. Figures available from the United States Forest Service states that in 1922, the whole United States; including cities,,counties, United States Forest Service, and lumber companies, planted 36,000 acres to young trees.

The present capacity of the Union rLumber Companv Forest Nursery at F'ort Bragg is 900,00O young trees, one and two.years olcl. This nursery will within theinext few years raise enough yorlng trees to supply all the Mendocino County redwcod mills with suflicient rstock to reforest their cut-over lands. The present capacity of the Pacific Lumber Company Forest Nursery at Scotia, Humboldt Cottnty, is 500,000 young trees and will in the future raise sufficient young stock to, furnish all the Humboldt County redwood mills with young trees for replanting. The trorest Nursery of the iUnion Lumber Company has been in operation two years, while the Pacific Lumber CompanlNursery is one year old.
