Abstract
In Illinois about 100 square miles of land have been, or will eventually be stripped in the process of mining coal. Although these areas are but a very small percentage of the total land area of the state, they are ugly scars on the landscape. Largely through the leadership of the Illinois Division of Forestry the mine operators have undertaken a program of planting stripped areas. This work has now been underway for some years and the results so far obtained are here reported.
