Forestry Publications

The Forest Stewardship Series has been developed to provide owners of California forestland with a comprehensive source of information pertinent to the management and enjoyment of their lands. The authors hope that the information provided will help you formulate and implement strategies for achieving your personal goals as a landowner.

 

Your property is unique, and your vision or expectations for it are equally unique and personal. This series covers many topics. You may already be knowledgeable about some of them; you are encouraged to consult whatever leaflets you find useful. The series is no organized like a textbook. Some of the topic naturally relate to each other and should be ready together whereas others are virtually independent. Together, the series provides and introduction to the lifelong study of forest stewardship that is part of owning forest property.

 

The publications in the series do not tell you what to do but instead help you learn more about your forest and your many management options, and give you some of the tools necessary to define and achieve your goals. Reading the publications may lead you to conclude that you need to know more about a particular topic. The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) offers workshops and courses that can further your education and planning for your property. You can find out about these courses by consulting the UC Forestry website at http:ucanr.edu/sites/forestry
