Farm Projects
Look to Future
Reforestation continues to be
one of the major projects in In
ternational Paper Company’s Ver
nonia Tree Farm, a managed for
est developing for the future.
The Company’s large-scale re
forestation program was launched
in 1958. And, since, tree farm
slopes have been returned to grow
ing the new crop of timber by
air and land methods. Approxi
mately 5500 acres have been seed
ed by helicopter and tens of thou
sands of seedlings—mostly Doug
las fir with some Noble fir—have
been hand planted.
Tree farm activities include sal
vage logging, with logs processed
in the local area’s mills. This
plus special brush eradication pro
jects, with cats scarifying brushy
areas, is helping prepare the for
est floor for maximum timber
productivity.
Vernonia Tree Farm Supervisor
Fred Hageman reports pole thin
ning, road and bridge building,
and expansion of the relatively
new tree farm headquarters are
other important projects.
Considerable investment in main
tenance of existing woods roads,
construction of new roads and re
placement of aged rail trestle-type
bridges is improving the vital tree
farm access road system—looking
ahead to future timber production.
Presently, the roads are used for
fire protection, forest manage
ment, recreation purposes, and for
log transportation.
Thousands of sportsmen contin
ue to visit the multiple-use man
aged Vernonia Tree Farm to hunt
deer and elk in woodlands stretch
ing from Vernonia south to Glen
wood, and west to Elsie on the
Sunset highway, centering at the
Company’s modern Tree Farm
headquarters at Timber Junction
on the Sunset.
