The Chinese-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction has been actively engaged in a forestry development program since it established the Forestry Division in 1951. In the first three years, efforts were concentrated on the following activities: (1) To promote and subsidize the reestablishment of depleted windbreaks and coastal shelter belts in order to protect agricultural production in the coastal areas. Under this program 5,000 hectares of seacoast shelterbelts and 4,000 kilometers of farm windbreaks have been planted up to 1958. (2) To arouse public appreciation of the value of forest consciousness and public interest in tree planting, and to render financial and technical assistance to the public and private reforestation. By these efforts the annual planting has been increase~ to nearly 40,000 hectares since 1953, as against 10,000 hectares in previous years. (3) To assist in \'forest protection, forest research and offshore island reforestation programs. (4) To invite Dr. Tom Gill, a world-known authority on forest policy, to study the forestry problems and to outline a basic forest policy for Taiwan.
