About this book

Nautilus Book Award Winner "...impressively comprehensive, expertly written, and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation." ? Midwest Book Review

  • From the essentials of how to "read" a forest to the details of sustainable management
  • Covers wildfire risk reduction and climate change adaptation
  • Offers tips on ways to enhance wildlife habitat and watershed protection


Throughout Oregon and Washington there are several hundred thousand family forest owners, in addition to millions of forest acres under the care of community forests, municipalities, and Indigenous tribes, all of whom manage trees for sustainable wood harvest as well as recreation, inspiration, and a range of cultural connections. Yet there hasn't been a complete resource for Pacific Northwest forest stewards until now.In this comprehensive how-to, authors Kirk Hanson and Seth Zuckerman explore all aspects of forest management—everything from how to evaluate a piece of land before you buy it through implementing long-term plans that may include establishing new stands of trees, harvesting mushrooms as well as wood, and protecting your forests far into the future through wildfire risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and conservation easements. Loaded with helpful tables and illustrations that address the pros and cons of various species and how to best care for wildlife and the land, A Forest of Your Own is a clear guide to the many rewards of ecological forestry.
