Abstract
IN the July–September issue of Trees, the journal of the Men of the Trees, it is stated that the money already received in connexion with the Million Shilling Fund has enabled about 90,000 trees, hardwoods and softwoods, to be planted in Great Britain. Exception appears to have been taken to the fact that some of these trees have been presented to landowners who have already been paid for timber supplied for war purposes. It is said in defence that since these people have trained foresters and planters, the trees will be better looked after; but surely the man who can afford to maintain a trained forester can afford the mere price of the plants necessary to replant felled areas. It is difficult to see any justification in supplying him from a fund of small subscriptions given, presumably, by a tree–loving public.
