Report to Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />Page - 3 - <br /> <br />The Division of Forest Resources, through the County Ranger's <br />office, continues to work with the Agricultural Stabilization <br />Conservation Service, Agricultural Extension Service, and the Soil <br />Conservation Service to promote the Conservation Reserve Program <br />and all other agricultural p~ograms available to Cabarrus County <br />residents. We include information in forest management plans <br />about applicable programs and special events sponsored or <br />administered through all the other agencies. <br /> <br />TRAINING <br /> <br />A district meeting at District 12 Headquarters in Mount Holly was <br />held to discuss and review proper tree planting practices and the <br />handling of seedlings to insure high survival on planted tracts. <br />We are responsible for technical information and quality control <br />of tree planting and site preparation involving state or federal <br />cost-sharing funds. County residents who purchase seedlings are <br />provided information about correct planting techniques when the <br />seedlings are received at the County Ranger's office. <br /> <br />FIRE CONTROL AND PREVENTION <br /> <br />Fourteen fires, involving approximately seven acres, were <br />reported. A program on fire prevention was presented to a fourth- <br />grade class at Jackson Park School. <br /> <br />Your support of the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources in <br />Cabarrus County is greatly appreciated. <br /> <br /> <br />
