-One of the brightest stars of the galaxy of the Jubilee cups, competitions and drives is the Tree Planting schame launched by the Governor General several weeks ago. Conservationists and tree lovers generally will welcome the scheme not because it is all that should be desired, but because any scheme, no matter how small its chances of success, will present some of the ideas af conservation to general notice. +|Open Letter to the Club - Duped by the Duplicator| | 9| 
-If townsfolk can summon up sufficient energy to create tree-lined avenues in their own suburbs it is reasonable to expect that some of them will become increasingly sympathetic to the effart2 of Federation and other bodies to preserve our diminishing forests and primitive areas. +|The National Trust|Brian G.

-On a more practical plane, however, it is doubtful whether the Government Departments in whose hands rests the fate of these areas will undergo any groat change of heart. True, Mark Morton is safe for two years at least; others, well   Kuringai Chase is still ransacked every year for its flowers, the National Park is administered indifferently and staffed inadequately, our city and suburban parks are constantly being filched for railways, halls and parking stations, the P.Y.G's Department adopts a petulant attitude when there is opposition to their tree destruction schemes, and puts the complaints down to, in their view, the sinister publicity of the Jubilee scheme, which wants the streets adorned with things other than bare poles and wire festoonsThe preservation of our present park space would be a far greater gesture of the Jubilee spirit than the granting, gratis, of thousands of seedlings which have less than an equal chance of survival. +|Federation Notes| |12| 
-The capital difficulty of getting the trees to grow till they arc large enough to withstand the ravages of rabbits, live stock and general neglect is the greatest stumbling block to the scheme. From our own experience at Era we know that the chances of a seedling surviving for a fewryears is very low, and we fenced in the plantation. Imagine than how difficult it would be to cover all those ridges of dead ringbarked timber where there is no possibility of 'ohe seedlings receiving any protection from netting or wire. Even suburban avenues are a constant battle before an decent show can be expected. Granted immunity from telegraph wires it takes years of diligent attention by local councils before such things as Grafton's Jacaranda festival, or the pleasant shade of Albury's Camphor Laurels rewards the farsighted. +
