Proper Management Of Woodlot Stressed

The following in.'oi'ination Xis supplied by lhc forcsiry brailrll of the Provincial Department 0! Industry and Resources:

A forest is very com-p'.cx in its makeuip. it is a cclmrmunity of living and breathing V9i:Cl-311031. animals. birds, insccts, bacteria and fungi. Bcsidc its aestllctic values. it serves mail. in many direct. and indirect ways. such as. furnishing many essential wood products. conserving soil, favour- ably illflucncing adjacent air ienrpertiturcs, checking w in d s. storing moislure in ilndcrzround spaces, providing recreation. hunt- mg, trapping and fishing.

The farm woodlot has all of these characteristics of a forest. depending only on its size and the care that is given it. First, it makes use or land unsuited for other crops. Sub-marginal land or land unfit for agricultural crops will grow trees regardless of how poor the soil may be. The most inlpori.-int factor to remem- ber, however. is that the species of tree planted must suit that particular type of soil. sugar maple will never grow in a boggy area nor will black spruce thrive on high land.

Second, it supplies materials needed for fzlrlll operation. Lum- bcr and shirigles for farm build- ings, fence posts. wood for run- ncrs and slcigh shafts. wood for axe, shovel and fork handles and fuel for warmth are products that can be obtained from s woodlot.

Protective Coverage

Third. it protects crops, live- stock and the farm people. Ex- periments have shown that a sin- gle row of trees not only protects crops by conserving moisture ill the ground. increasing the relative humidity in the air and lessen- ing breakage by wind. but also saves as nulcb as 2073 of the fuel bill. .

Fourlll. ii. is t.he moans of ob- taining cash returns gt off-sess- oils for nlost. farm crops. In the winter months. the woodlot own- or can harvest the wood on his woodlot. By judicious cutting, he can obtain his fuelwood, fence posts and lumber for the coming year as wcll as quite a number of cards of pulrpwood that he can sell for cash and still leave his woodlot iii a healthy. wcll-stock- ed state.

Fiftll. it is the home of birds

and animals that destroy harm- ful insccts and rodents. BIKIS il-.-- stijoy a great number of lnjlll'lf)uS insects that prey upon the wood- lots and also. tova lesser extent, a few of the rodents that cause in- jury to trees. Without our for- ests thcre would be no. birds,

Prevents Erosion

Sixth. it prevents erosion out steep hillsides. No matter her.- well a steep hillside is farmed. if: it is denuded of trees. a. contin-' uous cl-osion of soil takes place every time it rains. If the crown of the hill is left wooded, the "b501'b5nl- ii1.l'ei' on the woodlot floor soaks up the rain as it fzllls then lets it seep out gradually. Lastly, it produces incomes com-. parable to the invertnlcnt of land' and labour. '
