The Prevention of Outbreaks of the Pine Beetles under War-time Conditions

Extract

During the last twenty years, the Forestry Commission, several local authorities, and a large number of private woodland owners, have expended a total of several million pounds in an endeavour to replace the stocks of growing timber which were so heavily depleted during the last war. Several hundred thousand acres have been planted and a large proportion of these areas have been stocked with coniferous species.
