light wind from the south, with about 7 inches of fresh dry 
snowfall on the ground. The mardhes were well frozen, but 
the streams at the west end of Lake W ingra were all open. 
A crew of 65 participated in the drive, all CCC enrollees 
and foremen.

The areas covered by each drive are shown on the accompanying 
map. The total area actually covered was approximately 650 
acres, although the totals are approximately corect for the 
entire arboretum area of 1125 acres.
