Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Forestry Almanac Forestry is a general term susceptible of varying definitions according to the opinions of the definer. Broadly it might be said that to practise forestry is to apply concrete scientific principles to the growth and utilization of timber crops. It does not mean laws compelling the planting of a young tree for every old one cut; regulating the sizes and kinds of trees to be cut; controlling private enterprise by government. It does mean the recreation of forest resources by the best means conceivable, and use of the existing resources with the minimum of waste. Forestry, in the strict sense, is a science. It relates to the properties of wood; the best uses to which it can be put; the best conditions under which it can be grown. Management is an economic science applied to forestry, and an increasingly important and appreciated phase of the question. Forest fire prevention, and insect and disease control and eradication are vitally important factors in the bigger issue. Beyond the questions of the planting, growing and protecting of forests there is the broader question of the "forest problem." These two words represent something that concerns every citizen. The science of forestry must be left to trained men who dedicate their life to the work, but the solution of the forestry problem rests with the intelligent and informed activity of the people of the nation. Their action must reflect an aroused appreciation of the importance of the forest in their economic and social life. What is this problem? Estimates place the original forests of the United States at 822,000,000 acres. Today there remain 138,000,000 acres of virgin forest; 250,000,000 acres covered with second-growth timber or young trees of no commercial value, and 81,000,000 acres of land-fitted for no other purpose than forest growth - that are barren and unproductive of anything.
