Private Industry and Gov€rnmcnt Agencies Work with Scouts

Timber harvested on remote parts of the Portland Bo-v Scout 733-acre camp on the Oregon Coast has provided funds for repairs and construction rvhich have nearly doubled the capacity of the camp s'ith nerv buildings, campsites and sanitary facilities.

Norv the boys are replanting the logged areas rvith Douglas fir seedlings and looking ahead fiftv years or so to the next healthy "contribution" from the land. While the areas would have reseeded naturally, the Scouts tvere so enthu'siastic about the project they chose to do their ou'n hand-planting and thus get a head start on Nature.

Foresters from Crorvn Zellerbach Corporation, the U. S. Forest Service, and the consulting forestry firm IUason, Bruce & Girard, advised the Scouts in the harvest of the timber. Crorvn Zellerbach and the Forest Service also furnished one year old Douglas firs for the replanting of the area after logging.

After the area tl'as relogged to remove the small logs and poles, the older (Explorer) Scouts began annual planting expeditions during the Christmas holidays rvhen tveather conditions are best (for baby trees). This year's planting of 15,m0 trees $'as the second annual expedition and 35 Scouts took part.

Helping supervise the project were L. B. Alexander, rvith the Bureau of Land Management, Gilbert I\I. Borve, consulting forester, and Merle I\[osar, district forester for Crorvn Zellerbach Corporation.
