Army Estimates Forest Holdings At 1.8 Million Acres

Washington, D.C.-A preliminary investigation-the first phase of a new Army forest management program-places total Army forest land at about 1.8 million acres. Previous estimates have.run as high as two million acres.

The study was conducted by Cyril B. Webster u'ho rvas appointed forester for the Corps of Engineers late last year.

Webster told representatives of the National Lumbel X{anufacturers Association that about 60 per cent of the 1.8 million acres is classed as merchantable timber, capable of yielding either sawlogs, poles or pulpwood.

Webster said no detailed plan of action has been formulated for the neu' forest manag'ement program. He explained that he is still gathering basic forest inventorv data on area, condition of stands, and potential yield by type of rar,v materials and volume.

After this work is completed, Webster is expected to recommend management plans and policies for the Armyolvned stands.

Webster pointed out that past records of timber cutting on Army lands show annual production of only about 3O board feet per acre in the form of sarvlogs, pulprvood, poles, fuel. etc.

The forestry expert disclosed shortly after his appointment that he hopes the Pentagon eventually rvill bring the management of all armed forces timber land under the control of a single forestry department.
