Assessment of a Large-Scale Reforestation System with Containerized Seedlings on the Basis of 5-Year Experience at the Woodland Division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation in Maine and New Brunswick

These programs are especially attractive to a landowner who is facing the task of re-establishing a forest which has been or is in the process of being devastated by insect epidemic.
