Laying Plans For Reforestation

It is possible for reforestation to equal cutting in the timber lands of the Pacific Northwest and therefore allay the national apprehension of replacjng the fast disappearing forests, according to Dr. Hugo Winkerwerder, dean of the school of forestry of the University of Washington.

This rapid reforestation only can be possible through adequate fire protection and a careful study of the prevailing conditions in that part of the country. It already is known that from 32,000 to 44,000 and even more, feet an acre can be grorvn in from sixty to eighty years, which means trees twenty-four inches in diameter and 116 feet tall rvill be available for future lumber and thus ansrver the reforestation question.

The Long-Bell Lumber Company already is following, a reforestation program which definitely provides for five years' rvork at a rate equal to the process of logging operations. The rvork is being done on the Long-Bell Lumber Company's or,r'n initiative and expense, but later it may be possible to synclrronize the lumber company's plans with those of the state and national government.

In connection with the reforestation plan, a large nursery area has been set aside near Ryderwood, Wash., the center of the Long-Bell Lumber Company's logging operations, by the lumber company. A sufficient number of young trees to stock from 3000 to 4000 acres annually will be produced in the nursery.

Direct seeding experiments rvill be conducted and the planting of redl'ood, big-tree, rvhite pine and Port Orford cedar will be tried on a commercial scale to supplement the native Douglas Fir, hemlock and red cedar. Fire lanes of alder and other broadleaf trees are being planted along the abandoned logging spurs as a feature of the program.
