Reforestation Efforts Start In Florida Regions
Washington February 22 Florida shows interest in reforestation after the U S Forest Service assessed cut over lands in Marion and Citrus counties.

Experimental plantings of camphor, mesquite and eucalyptus are planned. Fire protection is essential to prevent losses from annual burns.
