Downing, P.
Forestry - not a last resort - 1987 - Countryside Commission News No 27 June/July 1987, 3(1) .
A personal view stating the case for an extension of forestry land no longer required for convential crops. Wood is seen as a crop which can be grown on most types of farmland , and research in Devon suggests that 10% of the area of the average farm under good woodland would add 27% to present farm incomes . The author concludes that 25% of British farmland should be put over to woodland, and farmers should begin to think along these lines.
