source that can be renewed, and lumbermen are growing trees!
Yea—the forest industries ARE making real progress in a program of pro
tecting junior forests from fire and renewing the old forests. Logging is planned
by.foresters to leave at least 32 acres of seed trees on every section of harvested
timber land. And the forest industries—logging, sawmill, pulp, plywood and
shingle companies—operate the West Const Tree Farms’ Forest Nursery near
Olympia, Washington, with production of five million seedlings a year.
Despite giant war demand for West Coast Lumber and timber products, pri
vate enterprise is acting NOW to provide trees for *tomorrow’s citizens.
