About this title

Synopsis

For landowners interested in how to harvest timber for profit while maintaining a forest's biological diversity, aesthetic beauty, and ecological structure, this practical, accessible book provides guidance and resources. The author, who grew up in Montana and has done graduate work in forestry, interviewed land-owners and loggers in Montana and Oregon to assemble their advice and experience regarding methods for inventorying forestland, determining a sustainable harvesting volume, and choosing a logger, among other topics. B&w photographs support the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
