HILL LAND: A STUDY OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS
Forestry Commission
The need for the Forestry Commission to slow down its programme because of land shortage coincides with anxieties from the agricultural and social aspects about retrogression in large areas of upland grazings. The proper integration of forestry and agriculture in these marginal farming zones has been urged and this paper discusses the possible development of this theme. Land-use from either economic or social aspects must no longer be a matter for decision primarily by professional agriculturalists. There are wider implications wherein the forester must have equal say on land-use councils.
