A Landowner's Guide
Revised Edition
Packed with information and illustrations, Working with Your Woodland has given woodland owners all the basics necessary for making key decisions since it was first published in 1983. The revised edition reflects fundamental changes in the way private woodlands are viewed. Today they must be seen as part of the whole earth rather than as owner-managed islands.
Few owners are aware of the wide spectrum of compatible management objectives -- such as encouragement of wildlife, development for recreation, and enhancement of scenic beauty -- that can coexist with the more familiar timber and firewood potential of forested areas. Even fewer understand the purpose, techniques, environmental impacts, economics or legalities of forest management. This revised edition of Working with Your Woodland provides necessary information on the technological, environmental, tax and legal concerns associated with woodland management. Three chapters were completely rewritten, and there is information on wetlands management, global warming, acid deposition, and rare or endangered species.
