Understanding how to plan and manage forests for long-term value
This classic work explains forest working plans as the practical tool for regulating sustained timber yields and guiding forest investments. It contrasts conservative management with more destructive approaches and shows how owners’ aims shape planning, finance, and forest care.

In clear, structured sections, the book introduces the idea of an ideal forest and the real-world limits of achieving it. It lays out key concepts like age-class gradation, normal growing stock, and normal increments, with examples drawn from both European and American practice. You’ll see how planning addresses protection, sylvicultural operations, and the balance between revenue and forest sustainability.


  • How a forest working plan organizes cutting, protection, and silvicultural work

  • Definitions of normal age classes, stock, and growth to guide steady yields

  • The role of economics, taxes, and national policy in forest management



Ideal for readers seeking a foundational, policy-aware view of forest management, this edition is useful for students, professionals, and landowners looking to understand the logic and constraints behind lasting forest plans. Ideal for anyone exploring how to align forest use with conservation and long-term profitability.
