Wildlife Conservation in Woodlands and Forests

by Esmond Harris and Jeanette Harris

Published 14 February 1991

This book aims to show that the commercial management of forestry and woodland is not inconsistent with (and may frequently benefit from) a thriving and varied population of flora and fauna. The book also aims to provide guidance, species by species, on what can and should be done to encourage and sustain wildlife, in particular forest environments. "Wildlife Conservation" is a practical book written for farmers and foresters which aims to show how the forestry profession can do well and at the same time be seen to be doing good, both for themselves and for Britain's natural heritage. Almost all British woodland is managed for commercial purposes. Changes in legislation and agricultural over-production mean that the amount of land in woodland and forest cultivation will increase substantially over the next decade, thus offering an opportunity for wildlife conservation.
