‘Youth Training Program

+ ‘Twenty-five years ago, the
provincial government initiated
a youth training program in the
parks’ division of | the B.C.
Forest Service. When the parks
division became a full branch in
1957 and moved into the newly.
created department of Recrea-
tion and’ Conservation, the
program followed and flour.

pose of the program is to

ASK ABOUT THE FOREST

A Kimberley reader, Mrs,
Helen Duncan, has asked us
some questions, These were
answered by a. Registered
Professional Forester who is a
member of the Association of
B.C, Professional Foresters, A
book prize has been awarded
for these good questions.

How Does a Conlferous Treo
Grow from Its Fallen Cone?

Cones are the seed carry-
ing structures of Coniferous
(needle leaf trees, If you look
carefully, you will find that
each cone is made up of 25,80
cone scales which are attached
toa woody axis running up the
middle, Each scale normally
carries two seeds.

Under ideal’ conditions,
each seed is capable of germin-
ating and growing into a tree,
In other words, one cone with
25 scalea could provide 60 seeds
and 60 potential trees.

Drying or heat’ will cause.

the scales to. open and shed

their seeds. Usually this hap-
pens while the cones are still on
the tree. In the case of some
species the. seeds have tiny
wings which help the wind to
lift and scatter them. However,
certain conifers, like lodgepole

, and ponderosa pines, have very
hard, thick, woody cones. Often

it takes the heat of fire to open
the scales and release the seeds
of these trees,

Would You Get A Tree It You
Planted An Open Cone?

Assuming you had picked a
cone with capable of
developing, it is conceivable
you could grow a seedling, If
supplied with aufficient mols-
ture, the seeds would germl-
nate and start to grow within
the cone,

However, don't forget that
in this case a great many
seedlings would grow side by
alde in a clump, and eventually
choke each other out,

It would be better if you
were to plant individual seeds.
Your best course would be to
gather cones from suitable
trees during September and
October or by just picking up
fallon cones, Store them in a
dry warm place and wait for the
cones to open or separate. Then
shake them out of the cone.

After that, plant them in
the usual way. Have lots of fun.
