BRITAIN’S WOODLANDS
LONDON, April 30.
Britain’s Forestry Commissioners have been discussing the future of woodlands with representatives of land owners. The object of the commissioners is to encourage the production of timber in Britain, and they recommend that owners of woodlands who dedicate their land to afforestation should be assisted by the State, while those who do not make their dedication in a given time would have these lands acquired by the State. It is suggested that the State assistance will take the form of a planting grant of £7 10s an acre for every acre planted or replanted; loans to carry out agreed schemes for planting; and maintenance grants.
