Under the Department of Forestry Act, a composite forestry agreement was entered into with the provinces for a term of two years ending Mar. 31, 1967. This agreement includes in "a single package" the federal aid available for forest inventories, reforestation, forest fire protection, forest access and stand improvement projects. The composite agreement also gives the provinces considerably greater freedom to allocate funds among the specified fields of work. A total of $7,910,000 of federal funds is available annually, the allocation to the provinces being in proportion to their productive forest areas.
