Forestry 101
Forestry is big business in the United States. Wood-using industries are located in nearly every
state and they provide year-round jobs for millions
of people. The private timber owner, however, is the cog that runs the whole
resource side. With the U.S. Forest Service selling less and less wood, 10 million
private owners now feel increased pressure to sell wood - and to produce more wood.
Unfortunately, most tree owners are not prepared to grow a forest. The two most
frequent questions asked of forestry
organizations are "Where do I start?" and "Who can I find to help me
with my woodlands?" Forestry 101 is designed to
get a forest owner off to a quick start, to use the Internet as an educational tool for
developing a forest and to help answer intitial forest management and tree care questions.

some cases I have included reports of exceptional value from other sources. Hope
this helps...
