Synopsis

In this book, methods of silvicultural practice that could transform our countryside and make clear-felling of woods a thing of the past are reviewed. Drawing on his 45 years of practical forestry experience ranging from a tropical rain-forest in Malaysia to the gracious woodlands of England's stately homes, the author presents well-tried and tested methods and provides practical guidance for the conversion of woodlands to a more natural state in which there is permanent cover and where woods are never clear-felled. He shows how it is possible in such woods for the conservation of both wild-life and landscape to go hand-in-hand with the production of valuable timber.
