Hemstrom, Miles. 1990. New forestry--how will it look on the landscape? In: Pearson, Audrey; Challenger, Derek A., eds. Forests--wild and managed: differences and consequences; 1990 January 19-20; Vancouver, BC. Vancouver, BC: University of British Columbia: 27-34.
The forest landscape, managed under the concepts embodied in New Forestry, will differ substantially from that managed under conventional forestry practices. The new landscapes will retain many of the physical structures(snags, large trees, down wood) and spatial conditions (patches of green trees, riparian corridors, inter-connectedstands) of the primeval forest landscape. The philosophy guiding forest management under New Forestry concepts alsodiffers from that of conventional forestry. Retention of the habitat structures and landscape patterns that supported thebiological diversity that existed in the primeval forest will be a major concern. limber harvest and management forattributes of natural forests can and should occur on the same parcels of land. Examples of stand-level and landscapeimplementation of New Forestry concepts are presented as the basis for continuing discussion.
