Abstract
DURING the ten years that have elapsed since the first edition of this book was published, much progress in the art of forestry has been made in this country. The necessity of having within our shores an ample store of growing timber to meet the possible emergency of war, is now admitted by statesmen. The Forestry Commission established in 1919 has been busily engaged in acquiring land for new plantations and in re-afforesting the extensive areas which were denuded of timber during the war. Municipalities are awakening to the useful work of covering their water-catchment areas with trees, as evidenced by the new scheme of the Glasgow Corporation, which, if carried out, will create around Loch Katrine a magnificent forest, such as that owned by Liverpool at Vyrnwy in Wales.
