Important new publication – Developing the Full Potential of the Forest: Management of Irregular Forests

[Cathy Fitzgerald]

An important new publication which will be of interest to many of our members Developing the Full Potential of the Forest: Management of Irregular Forests (2011).

It has been translated by Phil Morgan, President of the UK Pro Silva Close to Nature – Continuous Cover Forestry group, CCFG.

In the new publication the French Association Futaie Irreguliere presents the approach to

• irregular silviculture developed over the last 15 years by leading French private forest managers
• describes the AFI network of irregular silviculture research stands set-up by a leading forest scientists across France, Belgium, England, Luxemburg and Ireland
• records 20 years of monitoring irregular silviculture through measurements of dendrological, economic and environmental parameters
• presents results from 6 research stands of biological and economic growth and development
• includes 11 Information Sheets detailing all aspects of management and transformation of even-aged stands

“The success in making an operational tool to work on this complex subject that reconciles the multiple functions of the forest required exceptional experience. It required a profound understanding both of how the forest functions, and of the people who live within it and from it. The various chapters of this book bear witness to these complementary qualities.”
Jacques BLONDEL

I've ordered it as soon as I read your notice! I'm always curious about French forestry. A pity my French isn't better. Looking forward to reading it.
