Samuel Hays provides an analysis of manipulations of conservation law that have touched off a battle between what he terms "ecological forestry" and "commodity forestry." Hays also reveals the influence of the wood products industry, and the training of U.S. Forest Service to value tree species marketable as wood products, as the primary forces behind forestry policy since the Forest Management Act of 1897. Wars in the Woods gives a comprehensive account of the many grassroots and scientific organizations that have emerged since then to combat the lumber industry and other special interest groups and work to promote legislation to protect forests, parks, and wildlife habitats. It also offers a review of current forestry practices, citing the recent Federal easing of protections as a challenge to the progress made in the last third of the twentieth century. Hays describes an increased focus on ecological forestry in areas such as biodiversity, wildlife habitat, structural diversity, soil conservation, watershed management, native forests, and old growth. He provides a framework for the critical assessment of forest management policies and the future study and protection of forest resources. 606 $aForest reserves$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aForest policy$zUnited States 606 $aForest management$zUnited States 606 $aForests and forestry$zUnited States 606 $aForest ecology$zUnited States 615 0$aForest reserves$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aForest policy 615 0$aForest management 615 0$aForests and forestry 615 0$aForest ecology 676 $a634.9/20973 700 $aHays$b Samuel P$0102888 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789381703321 996 $aWars in the woods$93851486 997 $aUNINA
