Customer Reviews

Have you ever wondered how they figure that out?

Have you ever wondered what those government sponsered scientific documents mean? Gail has read many and synthesized some so that a reader can understand what they say. Have you ever wondered about practices like "Structure Based Management" or "Managed Growth" and why anyone would be interested them? Or what they mean to you, a person who cares about forest practices. The author of this book has a heart that loves hiking in rich forest and a soul that came out of a logging family in the heart of logging country, Coos Bay, Oregon. Do you want to know what foresters, government experts, ecologists, scientists, and planners are planning? The work they are attempting in the Tillamook will be replicated into other areas if successful.
