Abstract: Much work is being done in Europe to increase the forest estate. In many areas the only land available for planting is situated above the existing timber-line. European techniques in protection forest work are discussed under the headings of environmental research, species introduction, and soil conservation.
The possible application of European methods to New Zealand conditions is discussed and some comparisons are made between mountain lands in Europe and New Zealand.
