Forestry After the War

Abstract

This note suggests the urgent need for comprehensive planning, on lines similar to those adopted in America under the Tennessee Valley Authority, as a preparation for peace. It also suggests reasons why forestry will have an important part to play in such planning and emphasizes the need for forest scientists to integrate their practice and particularly their research work, fully and efficiently, with the everyday life of the modest communities of the future, for the serenity and health of whose environments, forests and woodlands will be partly responsible.
