The City of Campbell River’s Forestry Task Force produced this article to demonstrate how the current practice of planting trees to restock a harvested forest site started when planting began in Beaver Lodger Forest Lands in 1931. Modern day reforestation in British Columbia took root in Campbell River’s Beaver Lodge Forest Lands. “The forest industry here in B.C. has been active in a significant way for over 125 years, starting in the 1880s,” says Steve Lackey, a member of the City of Campbell River’s Foresry Task Force. “All reforestation in those early years relied upon natural regeneration. Often times, so-called seed trees were left standing in a harvested area and wind would spread seed from their matured cones to restock the surrounding forest lands.”
