Forestry and Permanent Prosperity (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Forestry and Permanent Prosperity There are, as has been said, many areas on which the number and species of wildlife can be increased. But there are also some areas which are already too heavily populated with big game, where the herd has increased far beyond the carrying capacity of the winter range to support it. Damage to forage crops, heavy winter losses through starvation, and accelerated erosion have resulted. On these areas, modern game management calls for such adjustments as will protect both the big game and the forage upon which it lives.
