Books, Manuscripts
This is the first comprehensive account to be written of the life and work of the Forestry Commission of Great Britain which is responsible for over three million acres of woodlands in England, Scotland and Wales and this year [1969] celebrates its half-centenary. It is an informative, outspoken and often critical account of the first forty-five years of the Commission, written by a man who rose from district officer to become the Commission's deputy director-general in 1964. The first part of the book traces the growth of the Forest Service from ints inception in 1919 ... Part two is devoted to the major subjective functions of the Forestry Commission... The several appendices include much useful and hitherto unpublished statistical material.
