Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of forest management, particularly as it relates to England's timber supply, and provides readers with practical instructions on how to cultivate trees. Published in 1664, this book appeared during a time of great interest in the subject. England's supply of timber had diminished significantly, and reforestation efforts were underway. By introducing scientific methods and advocating for the preservation of existing forests, this book took a thoughtful and innovative approach to a pressing national concern. The author draws from history, philosophy, and personal experience to provide a comprehensive guide to forestry, covering topics such as the cultivation and improvement of various tree species, forest conservation, and the use of forest products. This book remains an essential resource for contemporary forestry practices and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the development of sustainable land management techniques in England.
