Forest Plans of North America presents case studies of contemporary
forest management plans developed for forests owned by federal,
state, county, and municipal governments, communities, families,
individuals, industry, investment organizations, conservation
organizations, and others in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The book provides excellent real-life examples of contemporary
forest planning processes, the various methods used, and the
diversity of objectives and constraints faced by forest owners.
Chapters are written by those who have developed the plans, with
each contribution following a unified format and allowing a common,
clear presentation of the material, along with consistent treatment
of various aspects of the plans. This work complements other books
published by members of the same editorial team (Forest Management
and Planning, Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resource
Management), which describe the planning process and the various
methods one might use to develop a plan, but in general do not, as
this work does, illustrate what has specifically been developed by
landowners and land managers. This is an in-depth compilation of
case studies on the development of forest management plans by the
different landowner groups in North America. The book offers
students, practitioners, policy makers, and the general public an
opportunity to greatly improve their appreciation of forest
management and, more importantly, foster an understanding of why
our forests today are what they are and what forces and tools may
shape their tomorrow. Forest Plans of North America provides a
solid supplement to those texts that are used as learning tools for
forest management courses. In addition, the work functions as a
reference for the types of processes used and issues addressed in
the early 21st century for managing land resources.
