Críticas:

"This book constitutes a big and bold salvo in the already contentious battles over the value of extensive uncut forests and the ecological effects of significant clearcuts. It is written by highly respected experts, and the goals of the book and of the forest management they advocate are clear--that more wildlife species are better."-- "Northern Woodlands" "A comprehensive look at how forested properties can be managed to benefit wildlife and to be sources of forest products in a responsible manner."-- "Portland Press Herald" "Useful resource for land trusts and woodlot owners looking to develop their own management plans."-- "Northeastern Naturalist, vol. 3 no.1" "If there is one fact the book brings home it is that forests are always changing, and that the operative word may well be diversity."-- "The (Milford, NH) CABINET"

Reseña del editor:

This is a concise introduction to practical forest wildlife habitat management for private landowners, who own most of the forested habitat in New England, the eastern United States, and adjacent Canada. In non-technical terms, experts from the U.S. Forest Service provide useful information about plans that can improve forests, enhance production of forest products, increase the diversity of wildlife, and increase enjoyment of forest lands through sound forest management. The book discusses the history of land use and natural changes in forest environments, why species come and go, and how the scale and presence of special features can create a diversity of wildlife habitats. The authors explain management strategies that contribute to wildlife diversity, how to set goals and work with professional foresters to meet your goals, and project how managed lands will look in the future. They show how to determine what kinds of habitat will be used by various wildlife species, how to consider land capability and the mixture of habitat features necessary to attract desired species groups, and how to get started changing existing vegetative conditions through thoughtful management. Exceptional full-color illustrations, charts, and tables enhance the clear presentation of the text, geared specifically for landowners interested in getting started on improving habitat conditions on their land.
