Description:Excerpt from British National Forestry: Reprinted From the Agricultural Journal of January 17th and 31st, 1901Now it pastures a few sheep! Sheep that could be pastured better in Australia or in South Africa, where it is too dry or hot to grow coniferous timber. When the old forest was cut down the usual soil deterioration followed. What was once a rich forest 8011 is now barren moorland. The contrast was all the greater as I had come straight from a tour in the Black Forest in Germany, where the reverse side of the picture is strikingly presented. There almost every square yard is utilised. In the fertile bottom lands of the valleys, sheltered and enriched by the forest, are villages, hamlets, cultivated lands and factories. Factories, worked by water from forest streams, where the air seems as clear and pure as on the Alps. Above and all around, stretching over an apparently limitless expanse of rolling hills, lies the glorious forest, natural in its beauty, artificial in its productiveness. In the valleys are the Spas, whither ﬂees the German in summer as the Englishman to his seaside watering place. Few would hesitate which to choose if there were forests in England. Surely the aesthetic side of forests would have some inﬂuence on a not too artistic national character! I know of no reason why there should not be another Black forest on Dartmoor or Exmoor. Nor why we should not see in England that fair landscape of sea and forest that has rendered Knysna famous throughout South Africa. Is there any valid reason why many as fair a scene should not be repro duced in England to-day It is my object in the following pages to submit certain facts bearing on this important subject, facts well worthy of earnest consideration at the present time. If England and the British Isles are to be restored to their former beauty and productive ness, Reforesting is essential.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
