"The film deals with the Department of Lands and Forests' involvement in forest management. Of the ten million acres of forested land in Nova Scotia, 25% are Crown holdings. The objectives of forest management are: to bring back former waste land into production, to ensure continuous wood supplies, and to provide watershed protection. Scenes include Crown lands being surveyed; topographic map-making; the building of access roads for fire protection and lumbering; and seed nursery cultivation as part of the on-going reforestation program."
