Search Results for Forests and forestry.

The twentieth century has seen a considerable increase in forest cover in Great Britain. Under the influence of the Forestry Commission, the area of productive forest has more that doubled since 1919. Many new forests have been planted on important wildlife habitats, and there has been a serious decline in the area of Ancient and semi-natural woodlands. These trends have brought foresters and conservationists into conflict. We offer the proposals in this paper to remove the grounds for conflict by securing an environmentally beneficial form of forestry.
