Customer Reviews

terrific resource for newbies with a forest

We recently acquired a small woodlot in New England and have found this book, as its title states, a wonderful introduction to the issues we will face and the tools we will use as we manage the area. Published in 1983, the author's conservation-minded principles make sense even for those who want to harvest part of their trees. The book has lots of practical advice about assessing your woodlot; planning your use of the area; what kind of tools to use and how to use them; how to gain access by making trails; and making changes that will attract wildlife such as trout and grouse. Principles and techniques are illustrated using photographs and line drawings. This is an excellent starting point for someone interested in managing a small woodlot.

First book to read when concidering managing your woodlot

Pleasure to read. This book provides those with no forestry experiance what so ever a starting place. The author describes the ecology of the small woodlot, the tools required for management, and how to get further information. Its main draw back is lack of detail.
