Reviews for Backyard Woodland: How to Maintain and Sustain Your Trees, Water, and Wildlife

A godsend to private landowners. -- Chuck Leavell, Georgia landowner and keyboardist for The Rolling Stones The many small, privately held patches of wooded land in North America add up to a very considerable portion of our continent's forest legacy. Joshua VanBrakle's Backyard Woodland advises smallholders about both managing and enjoying their forested parcels. What makes his book especially valuable is that its many practical suggestions about such topics as working with foresters and loggers, avoiding erosion, and controlling exotic invasives are consistently related to larger ecological realities and to the aesthetic and spiritual foundations of forest stewardship. In attempting such a synthesis, this book is a timely successor to Aldo Leopold's For the Health of the Land. -- John Elder, Vermont landowner and author of Reading the Mountains of Home
