Thank you. One or two years is probably not long enough to do an assessment and 50 hectares seems fairly small with one hectare being close to an acre. It is something that a good tree planter can probably do in a matter of a few days. In addition to that, there are many areas that have been logged out and cut for fire wood, certainly south of the lake and in this area near Yellowknife you have to go a long way for fire wood. It is left to nature to take its course. It is going to be forever before we get trees there again. South of the lake trees grow a little bit faster. I am wondering if there was a reclamation program taking place to seed these areas to stimulate faster growth to help that area recover? I know jack pine is the predominant tree around Salt River area.
