Cover. One of the tree nurseries of the UNDP/FAO project in Cuba for the establishment of a forestry research and training centre. The project is planned to run to 1974. The project manager is P. J. Chapuis (France). A relatively small amount of productive forest land, suitably sited, can supply Cuba with the seed of improved strains of trees, primarily pines, needed to afforest the lands released from agriculture and pasture or denuded of their forest cover by past misuse.
