Synopsis

This book provides comprehensive guidance on the proper methods for cultivating and preserving timber trees in both forests and smaller plantations. The author begins by establishing the importance of these trees, both economically and environmentally, before dedicating chapters to the unique properties, cultivation, and uses of oak, beech, and elm trees. The author, an experienced timber consultant, bases much of this practical advice on his own direct experience. He includes information on the optimal planting and harvesting times, soil and weather conditions, and protection from pests and disease. This book provides a combination of traditional knowledge and contemporary techniques for effective forest management, useful to both individual landowners and professional foresters.
