This concise handbook combines sound landscape principles with practical advice on the conservation and enhancement of natural areas in and around managed forests. The book describes aesthetic issues and discusses the broader implications of forestry in the landscape. It goes on to establish an overall framework within which the abundant variety of landscape details may be situated. A number of useful examples show how forests can be planned to best reflect their surroundings, particularly in the planting and felling stages. Topics include the choice of species; the design of small woods, shelterbelts, and forest roadsides; and the planning, management, timing, and implementation of design projects. The book includes hundreds of illustrations, many in full color. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of theoretical understanding.
