Trees: A Woodland Notebook Containing Observations on Certain British and Exotic Trees (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Trees: A Woodland Notebook Containing Observations on Certain British and Exotic Trees
The following chapters, which have their origin in papers originally contributed to the Scotsman, are designed to meet, and possibly to stimulate, that interest in British woodland resources which has so greatly increased within recent years. The authors aim has not been to present either a scientific botanical treatise or a manual of technical forestry; he has attempted to describe the leading characteristics of the forest growths indigenous to the United Kingdom, and to indicate those exotic species which have proved, or are likely to prove, best adapted to the British climate, whether as economic or purely decorative subjects.
There has been in the past - there prevails to a considerable extent in the present - confusion among British planters between the two branches of woodcraft - silviculture and arboriculture. Silviculture or forestry - the science of managing woodland to produce serviceable timber - has been so grossly neglected in the United Kingdom that its cardinal principles have had to be learnt afresh.
