Perfect for City Slickers.

I found this book to be an incredibly valuable asset in the managing of my newly acquired 10 acres of woods. I had no previous experience and didn't read this text until I had owned it for several months. Unfortunately, I had learned the hard way many of the common sense facts the authors share in these pages. It is a well-written and well-documented work that is perfect for those of us who wish to conserve and preserve deciduous woodlands. I have opened mine up as a guide and reference several times after finishing it.

Couldn't put it down!

Excellent source of information. It is one of a few books of its kind - well worth the investment. The author(s) did an outstanding job of telling the whole story. Everything I wanted to know was available to me in this book. I'm ready to manage!

Quick, thorough read

This book was a very quick but thorough read. Filled with good sense and good intentions, with the good knowledge to back them up. Liked the fact that it addressed both conservation and profitability. Will refer back to it many many times as I work with my 10 acres of trees.
