Description

The principles of landscape design are combined in this volume with detailed examples and practical advice for the conservation and enhancement of landscape in and around managed forests. The author describes the key aesthetic principles and discusses the broader implications of forestry in the landscape. Numerous examples show how forests can be planned to reflect their surroundings, especially in the planting and felling stages. The need to combine forestry practice with a wider understanding is stressed. The choice of species is discussed, as are the design of small woods, shelterbelts, and forest roadsides.Table of ContentIntroduction. 1: Design principles. 2: Concepts of forest design. 3: The broad landscape. 4: Elements of diversity. 5: Forest shapes. 6: External margins of the forest. 7: Edges. 8: Design of open space. 9: Change of species. 10: Visual impact of forest operations. 11: Felling and restocking. 12: Roadsides and recreation. 13: Small woods and shelterbelts. 14: The landscape design process. 15: Design techniques. 16: Management of landscape design projects.
