Timber Management Web Guide

Dateline: 03/29/98

Timber management is the key to a healthy forest.  A healthy forest insures that trees are in top environmental, aesthetic, and commercial condition; and you'll discover plenty of information about the management of trees on the Web. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find useful information amid the clutter of hits from the search engines. And even when you do uncover the best timber management-related Web sites, you may be annoyed by having to dig through each one separately for pages on a given topic such as planting, growing, harvesting, or maintaining forest health.

This Forestry Timber Management Web Guide is designed to help you reach the timber management information you're looking for with a minimum of fuss. Click on a topic, and you'll be taken to a list of related Web links. In some cases, these links will lead to freestanding sites or pages; in other cases, they'll be "deep links" to specific pages within larger umbrella or forestry sites. (And if you'd rather just dig through the umbrella sites on your own, you'll find links to those sites, too.)

Unlike a forestry text or magazine article, this Timber Management Web Guide will be updated frequently. So come back often--you're likely to find something new on your next visit!  Let me know if you find a link just begging to be included.
