Abstract
Because of soil and climatic conditions, red spruce is the only timber-producing species available on a considerable portion of the original type. The lack of spruce seed precludes natural reforestation for a very long time. In lieu of complete planting, it is suggested that strategically located seed-source plantations be established. Mainly because of heavy vegetative competition, reforestation is a difficult and costly job. Success has often been poor or indifferent, but may be increased by release treatments and possibly by the use of fire and grazing.
