Applied Forest Tree Improvement Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good basic text suitable for woodlot owners as well as Forestry employees. It has lots of practical examples of how to improve a wild stand and how to set up a seed orchard. It's written in plain language and the type is big enough for bifocals. Recommended, by a woodlot owner.
