[Archive] Forestry in the British Scene

The sole purpose of this Booklet is to depict forestry under a wide range of conditions in Britain. The text and the captions to the photographs are kept to the shortest length necessary to offer an explanation of the diversity of forest scenery. No attempt has been made to classify land in any ordered scheme; indeed, the ‘forest types’ in this Booklet may well shock the forester or ecologist, and all that is claimed for them is that they are convenient ‘labels’ for tracts of country which by reason of topography, geology, soils and climate, have some community of conditions so far as the forest is concerned.
