Forest Service bulletin details natural forest extension on western plains
The bulletin by Royal S. Kellogg explains how semiarid western Kansas and western Nebraska forests may expand naturally along watercourses and floodplains. It outlines forest types, reproduction, and the role of vegetation like willows and sumacs in establishing stands, noting that fire suppression since settlement has improved conditions and spurred tree growth. It also notes two forest reserves of 208000 acres and analyzes land use shifts from grazing to potential tree stands.
