Near-natural and good management are not a contradiction in terms. “Gentle” forest management not only improves profits, but also makes the forest fit for the future. In this guide for beginners, forest manager and successful author Peter Wohlleben explains how to become a forest owner. Purchasing the forest, sustainable management and the selection of trees are discussed along with topics such as thinning, harvesting, making your own firewood and selling the wood. You’ll find out how you can protect your forest from storms, bark beetles and climate change, and even how to make a profit without actually logging it.
