The Management of Small Private Woodlands with Special Reference to the Problems of Regeneration and Rotation
Scottish Woodland Owners Association
The importance of small woodland holdings of 500 acres and less, particularly of those under 100 acres, is stressed.

This will necessitate more trained supervision and more financial aid. Three examples of management intensity are outlined.
