Forestry (The Green World)


Forestry (The Green World) 
Publisher: Chelsea House Publications | ISBN: 0791087522 | edition 2006 | PDF | 126 pages | 11,1 mb

Gifts of flowers are the most popular way to acknowledge weddings, funerals, and other events of passage. Gardening is one of the fastest growing hobbies in North America and the production of ornamental plants contributes billions of dollars annually to the economy. North America is the guardian to over 15% of the world’s forests. Forests are our great fortune and responsibility—they provide shelter and food for humans and wildlife. Left untouched, forests provide beauty and recreation that improves our quality of life. When removed, trees provide products that improve our lives, such as wood and paper. Who speaks for the many voices of people? Who speaks for the many voices of the forest? We have only one planet, so forestry science must speak for all.
