Report from Forestry Division

Emergency revegetation have been completed on all of critical watersheds denuded fires in 1961.

measures the most by forest

State Forester Francis H. Raymond reported a total 46,389 acres of important u'atersheds in California have been seedecl with fast growing annual ryegrass to reduce soil erosion and excessive water runoff which could be expected from the burned areas without this emergency first-aid treatment.

The largest project completed under this ernergency program was in Los Angeles County where 14,815 acres u'ere seeded in the recent Bel Air and Topanga Canyon fires.

To encourage maximum protection to important watersheds, the State assumes one-half of the cost of emergency treatment on privately owned watersheds where local groups are willitg to pay the balance. California Divisioq of Forest and range specialists supervise all revegetation pro- jects under this ernergency program rvhich rvere carried out in cooperation with flood and water control districts, soil conservation districts, and local and federal agencies.

A total of. 26,500 acres lvere seeded in Southern California and almost 20,000 in Northern California. Cost to the State for this added protection ito important watersheds was $25,000 vvhich included technical services, rental of helicopters for broadcast sowing, ancl the State's share of seed costs.

State Forester Raymond reported that this emergency soil erosion and flood reduction measure could not be expected to give the same level of protection as the native vegetation. It u'ill, Raymond reported, give adequate protection in some areas and might substantially reduce losses in tl.re most critcial areas.
