Tourism and recreation are set to play an increasing role in the
future of forests and woodlands. The increasing demand for outdoor
recreation and tourism can be partly catered for in woodlands,
since these can be used to screen otherwise conflicting uses and
absorb large numbers of visitors. These recreational uses also
drive up the use-value of forests that are visited. At the same
time outdoor recreation has the potential to bring extra income to
forest owners. This can help offse tht extra costs of sustainable
timber production and forest conservation. But the use of forests
for tourism brings added environmental pressures and requires
management responses to ensure the sustainability of this
relationship. This book addresses these interrelated issues. It
provides examples of environmental management techniques applied to
timber producing, recreational and conservation forests. It
includes case studies from various countries, and
practitioner-orientated contributions on Center Parcs, the National
Trust and Forest of Mercia.
