PLANTATION ON
BIRCH SUCCESS
Ely Experimental Forest One
of Best In Great Lakes,
Hendee Says.

Few people in this area are aware
of one of the most successful early
forest plantations in the Lake States
which is located near Ely" stated Clare
Hendee, Duluth, supervisor of the Su-
perior National Forest.
This PLANTATION is located Is miles
south of Ely on the southwest side of
Birch lake." Hendee said. It is known
as the Birch lake plantation and can
be easily reached from the Ely-Babbitt
road. This plantation was established
in 1915 and 1917 on an area of 108
acres which had been severely burned
over in 1914. Red pine and white pine
planting stock was, used and $50 trees
were planted on each acre. Fifty acres
of the plantation was released from
overlapping aspen in 1912 All trees
were pruned in 1888 and again in 1887
38 to remove the lower branches and
insure quality growth. The trees are
now thirty to thirty-five feet in height
and average six inches in diameter
In order to assist the public in en-
joying this area he continued, "the
forest service has constructed a parking
area and small picnic area along the
road at the edge of the plantation A
