Ecosystem Management
Until recently, natural resource management of such commodities as timber and wildlife was driven largely by the desire to exploit these resources. During the past three decades, however, ecologists have warned that this approach to natural resource management could have unforeseen consequences because it ignored how ecosystems function within the landscape. Federal agencies that oversee forest and wildlife resources have begun to implement different schemes of ecosystem management, schemes that vary enormously among agencies. Contributors to this volume--leading experts who are agency personnel as well as researchers--now clarify the key elements of sound ecosystem management and offer pres...

One Family's Forest
Foreword: ""One Family's Forest" is a story about people and place, about a family and the land that sustained them, land they deeply loved. It is a story of challenges and how the challenges were overcome as they strived to keep the family farm they all cherished intact for future generations.

The authors bring decades of academic and practical experience to this non-technical how-to guide that can help farmers and forest land owners plan for the future. "One Family's Forest" is about a family's relationship with the land, and the methods they applied to sustain the health and productivity of farmland forest. This book turns the concept of "sustainability" into actual practice for the everyday landowner. It brings conservation to reality on the land." Excerpt taken from the Forward of "One Family's Forest". Pages 11-12. Forward written by Michael Dombreck, October, 2010.
