Pupils to Aid Forestry Work
March 27, 1945
Eighteen high school boys and girls are giving up part of the school time, with the consent of the faculty, and three hours of their time after school, to aid the Durbin Federal Nursery, faced with the task of transplanting one and a quarter million seedling trees within two weeks.
By special arrangement, students may use the work for the reforestation project toward school credit. This is in keeping with the policy that everything possible should be done to preserve Lassen county’s greatest natural resources.
Until the war made such a program impossible, the local junior College offered one of the best forestry courses in the country. Plans are now under way to reopen the school of forestry for the benefit of returning veterans.
