THE GREAT NATIONAL LUMBER JOURNAL Pioneer and Leader in the Industry (ffiada lumberman ^ jLmmmmJ /bunded 1880 Recognized Authority for Forty Years Vol. 42 Toronto, May 1, 1922 No .9 How Ontario Is Insuring Future Wood Supply By E. J. Zavitz Head of Provincial Forestry E. J Zavitz, Toronto Provincial Forester In this article I desire to give a description of the reforesta- tion work in the Provincial For- est Station in Norfolk County, as related to the general prob- lem of reforestation in Ontario. Following an agitation in ag- ricultural circles a Forestry De- partment was established at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in 1905. In connec- tion with this Department a for- est nursery was established which was to supply forest planting material to those land owners desiring to reforest. This movement was chiefly concerned with the problem of reforestation in Southern Ont- ario, a region which had been largely settled and cleared for agriculture. In this region there are two distinct problems, name- ly: 1. Encouragement of reforestation on private lands. 2 Reforestation of the large areas of waste land which occur in numerous localities throughout old agricultural Ontario. The private woodlot which is usually )i small acreage and only an adjunct to the farm represents in the aggregate a considerable and important factor in our problems. It is estimated that there is about 8,500 square miles of this class of land in the old, settled part of Ontario. It is important that the private land owners be urged to protect and replant the woodlot and to reforest waste portions of his land. These small areas are, in the aggregate, of vital importance from the standpoint of fuel and local wood supplies. It is, with the second problem, that of reforesting the larger waste areas in older Ontario, that I wish to deal more
