Your Own Private Forest
Optimal Management of Private Forests
Peter Wohlleben
The average private forest owner has just one hectare of land – which would seem to be too little to manage effectively. It is still possible to do so, however, and this book will show you how – step by step, and without the use of technical jargon. There is a special emphasis on an ecological approach to all activities, since this is the key to obtaining a good return on your investment, as well as how to ensure a sustainable forest stand.
In addition to all the usual tasks such as planting, maintenance, tree-felling and marketing the wood products, there are numerous tips on storms, bark beetles and climate change. Even unusual income sources are discussed in detail – from survival training to burial forests, no question is left unanswered. And almost as a matter of course, the result is a forest that is worthy of protection as a nature reserve.
