Title: Trees and people
First published: 1994
Description: Trees & People is about the power of the conservation ethic for trees and forestlands, an ethic first introduced by citizen conservationists in 1875. Richard Jordan details how pioneers concerned about our environment struggled for legislation that would stop the rampant exploitation and waste of our forestland resources. Author Richard Jordan, explains how the lines of communication between environmentalists and the forestry industry can be reopened. Both groups are struggling for conservation, management, renewal, and wise use. If the two groups cannot find common ground, neither will be able to care for our precious forestlands and Mother Nature will be left to struggle on her own.

Trees & People explains how man saves forests by containing wildfires, reducing insect damage, controlling disease, and offering wildlife the best chance for survival. Management also benefits all types of recreation, from camping and boating to bird watching, or just escaping everyday life. Richard Jordan envisions a world where nature and man coexist peacefully. Trees & People offers solutions that will allow our valuable forestland ecosystems to provide us with the wood products we need to survive, with the healthy, aesthetic and recreational areas we've grown to love, and with a place where wildlife can live and flourish.
