Abstract

The State Division of Forestry has been actively concerned with mined land reclamation for 25 years. The results show that successful introduction of forest tree seedlings can be carried out on those areas that require revegetation. Early experimental work has assisted in developing standards and procedures for reforestation work on these lands. Cooperative efforts between the Division of Forestry and the Division of Mined Land Reclamation and other State resource agencies has resulted in excellent field cooperation and applied techniques.
