Unasylva - Started in 1947, this quarterly publication is intended to cover a range of interests as wide as that of the Division whose work it mirrors.

Cover. Loading logs for a new pulp and paper mill in Scotland. Half a ton of wood can be loaded in one grab to make up the lorry's- 16-ton load. It is hoped that the extension of forestry and the establishment of new forest industries will, with tourism, greatly contribute to the economic rehabilitation of the Scottish Highlands. Sweden has supplied equipment and services worth about U.S.$4 million for the new integrated pulp and paper mill, which is designed for an output of over 100,000 tons of bleached pulp a year.
