HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 c65W
104. Mr. Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being taken to facilitate natural regeneration in the large areas of German woodland which are now being clear-felled; it-td whether any old trees are being left behind in accordance with the common German forestry practice.

Mr. Bevin

Where an area is clear-felled, seed trees are left for forest regeneration. Apart from seed trees, a certain number of trees per acre are left standing in areas where this has been the practice in the past.
