Author Description

Excerpt from Forestry in New England: Revised Principles of Handling Woodlands, cover mainly the three subjects Silvicultural Methods of Reproduction, Timber Estimating and The Growth of Trees and Forests which are here included in three chapters. As a textbook, then, for the post-graduate forest schools giving the highest grade of instruction, this book will have a greater value for its detailed discussion of New England forests in Vol. II, than for the portion dealing with general forestry. But it is hoped that, for the undergraduate forest. Schools giving a slightly lower grade of instruction, all portions of the book will prove useful. The publications of the United States Forest Service as well as those issued by the Forestry Departments of the various eastern states, have been freely consulted, and much of the information which they contain has been incorporated in these pages.
