Summary

"Communities and Forests offers a timely view of the changing face of forests and forestry in North America today. In examining interactions between people and forests, the book shows that forests are as much a social institution as they are a biological resource." "With its unique focus on the integration of communities into decision-making about forests, this collection of insightful essays will prove useful to public: and private land managers, as well as to researchers and students in the fields of forestry, resource management, rural sociology, regional planning, environmental studies, and parks and recreation."--BOOK JACKET.
