PRAISE

This book should be mandatory reading for all Maritime politicians, as well as for senior bureaucrats in the provincial departments of Natural Resources and Environment.  A copy should be available as reference material for junior and senior high students or for a course on sustainability in universities.  It is a "must read" for all private woodlot owners in the region, and any Maritimer who is interested in sustainable forestry practices and in restoring our forests to their former glory.

Woodlot owners who are interested in rehabilitating their woodlot to a more diverse and resistant Acadian forest will find this book indispensable.

The book is clearly written and does not become bogged down in highly technical discussions.  When it introduces new concepts, it explains them in ways most woodlot owners should be able to understand.

Easy to read, informative, moves along nicely and should be very helpful to woodlot owners wanting to try a different approach to managing their forest.  It should also be of interest to field naturalists and those people who simply enjoy getting out in nature and learning more about our natural world.

This is an excellent book by an author who is both knowledgeable and able to express himself eloquently in word form.

The book showed me how much our forests have become depleted over the years, and how to prevent my woodlot from becoming another one of these sad stories.

Ryan MacBride
Woodlot owner

We thought the book very useful and extremely informative.  It gives a wide range of good information that we can use as the basis of making decisions about our woodlots.

It is so refreshing and encouraging to read a book such as this which promotes a pride in ownership and gives an insight into how to make the land the best that it can naturally be.
