CALGARY, Aug. 3 /CNW/ - Maple Leaf Reforestation Inc. ("Maple Leaf")
announces that it has seeded an initial test crop of seedlings that are
growing inside 6 existing hoop houses on the nursery site in Liang Chang,
Inner Mongolia PRC.

being propagated inside Jiffy Pellets consist of the following type of
species: Norway Spruce - 185,920, Red Pine - 97,160, White Spruce - 105,000
and Jack Pine - 489,440. This initial crop will allow Mark Sandiland, General
Manager of Operations in China, to test all growing conditions, weather
patterns, train staff, etc. while upgrading the existing Chinese nursery site

seedlings per year for 50 years.
