SUPPORT THE SENSIBLE PARK AND RECREATION PLAN . A Public Service Proiect by the Redwood Lumber Industry aa

Under a sensible program now being developed we, like the other redwood lumber companies, are providing thousands of acres for public use. Approximately 300,000 acres of privately owned timberlands will be made available for public recreational use more than double the acreage now held in state parks and beaches in the redwood region. The redwood industry has learned a lot about conservation during a span of 100 years. Witness tlie Tree Farm programs and the sustained yie-ld pdticies. With the new redwood industry's regional areas program in effect, both industry and the public will make continuous use of privately owned timberlands.

A practical, workable conservation plan because it will provide BOTH parks and payrolls, the Sensible Park and Recreation Plan means that a $400,000000 industry can continue in business. lt's an important job-producing industry, vital to the economy with its large payrolls and tax revenues. Unreasonable government park proposals would cripple the economy of the redwood regron.
