Rowan Reid, a forest scientist with over 30 years' experience, proposes a radical new approach to forestry that challenges the idea that harvesting trees is always bad for the environment. In this book, Rowan argues that the real future face of forestry is multipurpose forests on family farms. Taking an in-depth look at 15 of the special timber species that he grows on his own farm, he offers practical advice on species selection, planting design, tree management and harvesting.
