Abstract
THE First Annual Report of the Forestry Commissioners (H.M. Stationery Office, 1921, 9d. net) deals with the period ended September 30, 1920, since which date a whole planting season has intervened; but a preliminary note gives information of the progress made to date. The Forestry Commissioners are now in actual possession of 103,100 acres of land, of which 68,100 acres are classed as plantable with timber trees. The planting operations of the season 1920–21 have been successful, and the total area of new plantations is now about 8000 acres, while the stock of young trees in the nurseries is sufficient to plant next season a largely increased area.
