Great Pine Ridge Tourist Councîl was' discussed this week at a director's meeting. The council was addressed by L. B. Haas of Orono, Durham County forester and R. W, Tip- pett of Brighton, Northumber- land forester, Mr. Haas spoke of the pro- vincial centennial tree and shrub planting program which invoives public and high school students. Some participation wiil be seen -in Durham County later this year, he said. Each child will probably be responsible for planting ap- proximately 20 trees.

Mr. Tippett said 80 per cent et the planting in the county was in red, white and scotch pine. The foresters1 recommrenided that the tourist couneil contact scouts, cubs,,-and girl guides with a view to launcing an extensive piantîng campaign early in '1967. The projecýt would require s-udying , sou m1-aps and an over- ail plani of Vxhere certain* types of trees couId bJe patd Planis in Northumberland caîl for children from 15 schoois to take part ini a atigprogramn. [bhis representenl )jy ,a token of what the council woulid likie to see accomplished. t is estimfated( that about 40,- 000,000 trees wil be planlted in the Great Pîne Rîd 'ge regien. Mr. Haas said th-ere iýï a cur- rent trend in Durhamn for persons to buy 100 acres of land and their own ponds, rather than try to find Lakesh1ore properties. Only about 100 acres of land is purchased annualiy for reforest- ation puxrpo-es. CoîifervýatbDn authorities will planlt trees on r'-ivate land if the owner pays the COSt cf the work.

Another 20,000 acres Are needed for reforestation, but much of the land available is un- fit for use, said Mr. Haas. The oldest trees ln Northum- berland are 61 years old. Since 1924, 4,.000,000 trees have beeni, lanted undier thie second ofldest agreleent in Otrtario, said 7Mr*. Tippettî. Further mieetin-gs on the pro- ject will be held.
