CARE OF FORESTS
Appeal to Picnickers
During the summer holidays many thousands of picnickers will be spending hours in native forests, states the Forest and Bird Protection Society. They are requested to take every possible precaution against spreading fire in the beautiful woodlands. Many warnings have been given, year after year, about the need of care in the lighting of fires for the boiling' of billies or for cooking, or the complete guarding of embers, and the extinction of glowing cigarette butts and pipe dottles, but some persons have continued to be careless. Visitors to the forests are also asked to respect the ferns and other growth. There is a law against desecration of native forests, but it has been broken by plenty of vandals.
