Big Tree Planting Plans From Pike’s Peak Reserve
The United States Bureau of Forestry begins three planting projects this season. Fifty thousand trees will be planted in Pike’s Peak reserve to aid water conservation, 300,000 along Delaware & Hudson lines, and a similar effort with Northern Pacific railways to provide cross ties. Mapping of southern New Hampshire timber and agricultural lands aims to cover 4,000 acres this summer, guiding forest management and policy on fire, taxation, and timber protection. A 35,000-tree forest on California’s San Gabriel slopes, intended to conserve mountain water for irrigation, cost 1485 dollars and is considered successful.
