Abstract

As trees seem to be objects of hate as well as of love in the British landscape, this paper attempts to assess the place of forestry in the tangled pattern of British land uses. Both the weaknesses and the strengths of forestry as an important use of land are examined in the light of past events and analyses and as assessed by earlier speakers in the Discussion Meeting. This involves a consideration of existing and future conflict and cooperation between economic, social and amenity aspects of forestry and between private and public interests. The long period of time involved in the production of a mature tree makes it a flow resource of some complexity, particularly in relation to government policy and taxation.
