Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book was written to solve a problem. The disappearance of forests due to the increasing value of lumber created a need for better forest management. The author presents a comprehensive guide to practical forest management, especially applicable to wooded areas in New England. Nonetheless, the book provides a useful framework for forestry in general, within the context of the early 20th century. The writer comprehensively examines the best practices for planting and replanting forests, dealing with forest fires, disease, and other threats to forestry, and optimizing sustainable wood harvesting. Concepts such as mixed vs pure forests, even vs uneven-aged forests, and the various methods of harvesting timber are included. An important focus is the use of new and existing forests for watershed protection. The author has written this book to serve as both a reference and a textbook for foresters and landowners alike, and it is organized in such a way as to be useful in these different capacities.
