Abstract

Oak forests in North West France were visited to note current practice and policy, to enlarge a study of oak silviculture in the Wessex region of England. The former classical methods of state forestry were found to be intensified in respect of speeding the regeneration process, supporting this by planting, early favouring of trees of the future and more intensive thinning. Practice in the privately owned woodlands tended to be more flexible. Rotations were still long by British standards and the aim remained the production of steadily grown clean timber of veneer slicing quality, but there was some questioning of this.
