Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afforestation: The Unemployed and the Land The cause of this downward movement is self-evident. It is the desertion, the abandonment of the land. Each crop requiring humam labour has had its area reduced, and agricultural labourers have been sent away to reinforce the ranks of the unemployed in our cities and towns, so that far from being over populated, the fields of Britain are starved of human labour. As James Laird, used to say, The British nation does not work on her soil, she is prevented from doing so, and the Would-be economists complain that the soil Will not nourish its inhabitants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Afforestation The pressing need of afforestation and the lifelong interest that I have taken in the subject have caused me to record my experience and observations. The Scottish laird's advice to his son, "Be aye stikin' in a tree, Jock; it'll be growin' when ye're sleeping'," was never more appropriate than at the present time, when the axe of the woodman should give place to the spade of the planter. The cultivation of timber where formerly heath and gorse abounded is equally laudable with the making of two blades of grass grow where only one grew before.

Download or read book The Practice of Forestry written by Percival Trentham Maw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Forestry: Concerning Also the Financial Aspect of Afforestation In the following pages I have endevoured to write such a treatise on Forestry as will be found of universal use to Landowners, Land Agents, and all Students of the science of Forestry. It is very necessary to realise that a complete knowledge of the correct practice of Forestry can only be obtained by approaching the subject from a scientific attitude. There are many able foresters whose only school has been that of the lonely woodlands, but their ability is, nevertheless, the result of an unconscious scientific study. There is, however, a species of humanity - a class of self-styled experts - who advertise as being practical authorities on Forestry matters, and who boast that they eschew all that is scientific, but whose only passport is, in reality, that of garrulous ignorance, and an overweening confidence in their own inability. I cannot too strongly warn my readers against attaching any importance to the remarks or advice of such men as these. Now, whereas in the cultivation of field crops, a considerable degree of proficiency may be acquired in an empiric manner, by merely watching the results of ones own practice, and without availing oneself of the lessons learnt by others, yet, in the case of Forestry, such would be impossible, for the life of mankind is far too short to admit of acquiring a complete knowledge of Forestry without studying the results of the actions of others, both of the present and past generations, and endeavouring to draw correct conclusions from observations so made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Prize Essays on the Adaptation of Land of Afforestation: The Worshipful Company of Carpenters "Adaptation of land which has either gone out of cultivation or which has only a very low rentable value for afforestation: showing the mode of procedure from taking the land over and for twenty years after; and some statistics as to what returns may be looked for from this period up to maturity!." Part I. General Considerations Regarding The Utilisation Of Land In Great Britain. Building Land. In order to clearly understand the economic aspect of timber-growing on the surface of Great Britain, it is necessary to briefly consider the principle methods by which land is now utilised. The greater part of the land in towns, and a small proportion of that in rural districts, is utilised as accommodation ground for the erection of buildings, and as highways for the travels of the inhabitants and the transit of their merchandise. For such purposes the value of the land varies with its situation, its height above sea level, and its suitability for the healthy existence and convenience of human beings, and their trades, occupations and pleasures. The more populous a district or area the greater the demand for land of this description becomes, and consequently the greater its value, which may vary from 1,000 or more per acre in a large town to 50 per acre in a village. Agricultural Land. But the great bulk of the land surface of the country is used for quite another purpose, viz., that of growing crops as food for man and animals, and such land is commonly known as agricultural land.

Download or read book Gender and Forests written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book brings together the work of gender and forestry specialists from various backgrounds and fields of research and action to analyse global gender conditions as related to forests. Using a variety of methods and approaches, they build on a spectrum of theoretical perspectives to bring depth and breadth to the relevant issues and address timely and under-studied themes. Focusing particularly on tropical forests, the book presents both local case studies and global comparative studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the US and Europe. The studies range from personal histories of elderly American women’s attitudes toward conservation, to a combined qualitative / quantitative international comparative study on REDD+, to a longitudinal examination of oil palm and gender roles over time in Kalimantan. Issues are examined across scales, from the household to the nation state and the global arena; and reach back to the past to inform present and future considerations. The collection will be of relevance to academics, researchers, policy makers and advocates with different levels of familiarity with gender issues in the field of forestry.
Download or read book Perspectives on Sustainable Resources in America written by Roger A. Professor Sedjo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast size of the United States and extensive variation of its climate, topography, and biota across different regions contribute to both the richness of the nation‘s natural heritage and the complexities involved in managing its resources. A follow-up to RFF‘s popular America‘s Renewable Resources (1990), Perspectives on Sustainable Resources in America updates readers about the current challenges involved in managing America‘s natural resources, especially in light of the increasing emphasis on sustainability and ecosystem approaches to management. Written to inform general audiences and students, as well as to engage the interest of experts, the book includes assessments by some of the nation‘s most renowned scholars in natural resource economics and policy. An introductory chapter critically examines the concept of sustainability as it has been developed in recent years and asks how the concept might apply to individual resource systems. It considers the interrelatedness of ecosystem, economic, and social sustainability; the paradigms of resource sufficiency and functional integrity; and the contrast between weak and strong sustainability. The chapters that follow examine America‘s experience with forests, water, agricultural soils, and wildlife. Highlighting the adaptability and resilience of resource systems, each chapter provides a description of the physical characteristics of the resource, a history of its use, a policy history, and a review of ongoing debates in management and policy. Perspectives on Sustainable Resources in America concludes with an innovative treatment of biodiversity as a natural resource. The chapter reviews the definitions of biodiversity, the ecological and economic meanings of biodiversity, and current efforts to preserve biodiversity, especially through regulatory approaches.
