On May 18, 1980 an earthquake beneath the north side of Mt. St. Helens triggered the eruption of this volcano. This eruption caused damage to 160,000 acres of forests, meadows, lakes and streams. This paper discussed the reforestation of approximately 68,000 acres of commercial forest lands owned by Weyerhaeuser Company. This five year operation was the result of the cooperation of a team of research and operations foresters. The progress was reassuring but some areas will require more time before regeneration will be complete.
