Grayson, A. J. 1993. Private Forestry Policy in Western Eurpope.
CAB International. 329 p. (In English)
Abstract: Private ownership is the main form of tenure
of woodlands and forests in Britain and Western Europe. Recent
changes in legislation in the UK concerning financial aspects
of forest ownership, plus the advent of the single European market,
are likely to increase the interest of foreign investment in afforestation.
Against this background the Scottish Forestry Trust commissioned
a study to examine policies for private forestry across Western
Europe. This book is an outcome of this study, which had four
main purposes: to describe policy towards private forestry in
several European countries; to identify methods of policy formulation
and trends in the content and balance of objectives for such policies;
to describe methods of implementing policy and quantify the financial
implications; and to suggest changes in implementation methods
that might be appropriate to Britain.
