Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Changing Forests of the Lake and Central States Region To summarize briefly: . Many changes are taking place in the forests of this vast midcontinent region; some are strengthening the forest economy, others should be of cbncern, In the Lake States, the most significant points are the thickening up of forest stands in recent years, the presence of a sizable area of deforested land, the expanding reforestation program, and the stabilized ownership situation, Also of interest are the favorable outlook for aspen in the next two decades, the concern about maintaining conifers, and the expanding supply of oak, Improvement of timber quality is an important need, In the Central States we find, as we did in the Lake States, increases in timber volume and area planted, Of special concern is fire in the Ozarks, regionwide grazing, and the high percentage of low-quality hardwoods, These are all problems to Watch, think about, and act on, Present programs are positive forces tending to shape the future and give reason for-optimism.
