Considerable interest has been aroused in the, forestry plan which is being sponsored by the Canterbury Education Board for city schools. The proposal is that each, city school should plant two acres each year with a view to school funds benefiting later from the returns from the timber. The young trees are lo be raised from seeds in the school gardens and transferred when old enough to the school blocks on a large reserve near the sea coast. Efforts are now being made to interest the school committees in the project. It is hoped to extend the scheme, eventually to country schools a l -, well.
