Fall and spring planting and seeding of jack pine and fall seeding of white spruce were operationally tested on four burned, clear-cut areas in central Saskatchewan. Hand planting of conventional nursery stock at 1.8 m spacing and uniform broadcast seeding of 0.56 kg of seeds (viability 65%) per hectare were the standard postburn treatments. Tree regeneration that followed the various postburn operation treatments was surveyed in late August and early September 1979. Heights of dominant jack pines were measured again in October 1985 to obtain a rough assessment of their growth performance. The 1979 regeneration was assessed by species and groups of species for stocking, density, and height.

Begins with a literature review on the habitat, reproduction, and establishment of jack pine, followed by discussion of the use of fire to obtain natural regeneration of jack pine on cutovers. Management considerations for jack pine regeneration are also outlined. Concludes with a report on a case study of jack pine response following a pre-commercial thinning on a burned-over site in the Tyrol Lake Demonstration Forest near Lake Nipigon, Ontario.
