Valuable Woodlot Vulnerable to Fire Your woodlot Is or can be a valuable and important part of the farm. It is also an area vul- nerable to destruction from such agencies as pasturing, insect and disease epidemics, and fire. s a •,dile healthy vigorous trees are less susceptible to insect and disease epidemics. Therefore, by fencing the woodlot from liver stock, removing overmature, dam- aged and suppressed trees, there is less chance of losing valuable timber by these agencies. Fire in a woodlot can do con- siderable damage not only to trees of all ages, but also to the forest soil. Once the tree trunks have been scorched by ground or sur- face fires, the tree becomes weak- ened and vulnerable to iftttick from insect and disease. Although your woodlot may be at some distance from well travel- led roads where roadside fires are started by careless smokers, it may be a favorite spot for hunters or hikers, who in a moment of carelessness could start a fire of serious proportion. The wise woodlot owner recog- nizes this possibility and takes steps to set up an effective protec- tion system. Such eqiupment as pack pumps, grub -hoes, shovels and swatters are not expensive and can also be used for minor fires elsewhere. A well laid out road system, giving access to all parts of the woodlot is useful not only for regular hauling, but is a means of getting fire fighters and equip- ment to the fire as quickly as possible. These roads also serve to halt the spread of ground or surface fires. The expense and ..time involved in setting up a protection system is small when compared to the value of the woodlot so protected.
