An Analysis of Industrial Forestry

Abstract

This analysis was prepared by the author, with the assistance of his brother, for the purpose of promoting better forestry on privately owned forest lands through a better understanding of the activities and responsibilities of the industrial forester. Although it applies specifically to the Pacific Northwest, the principles that it stresses are also applicable in other regions. Some of the material pertaining to fire protection and forest management was taken from articles that previously appeared in "Random Lengths," published by willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association.
