Description

The creation of large new tracts of forest and the development of a modern wood processing sector were the most significant transformations to occur in the Scottish countryside during the twentieth century. This book tells the story of the human side of forestry, drawing on the thoughts, experiences, and reflections of individuals from all levels and sectors of the industry. The book explores the evolution of forestry policy and the changing roles of the Forestry Commission and the private sector, but at its core are the stories of those who have lived and worked in the communities where forestry has played a vital role.
