Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a snapshot of the forests and timbers found in four counties in Eastern Kentucky. The author has taken a scientific approach to describing the abundance of different species, their distribution, and even their geological distribution. The book is part of a larger project to gather data on the forests of Kentucky to inform future use of the resource, and to encourage preservation of valuable timber and forestland areas. The book discusses the economic uses of the different species, such as for iron making and use as fuel, but also emphasizes the ecological importance of forests, such as providing a habitat for wildlife and controlling water runoff. Far from being a dry academic text, the author provides information on the history of the local forests, noting the impact of Native Americans on the landscape and the changes that occurred when settlers arrived. The book will be of interest to anyone who enjoys the outdoors, is concerned about the environment, or wants to learn more about the natural history of their home state.
