Synopsis

Excerpt from Forests and Employment in Germany

In the United States, much thought is bemg given to the relation of sustained-yield forestry to employment and the support of permanent communities. It is of interest, therefore, to know something about the way in which the forests provide rural employment and thus supple ment agriture in countries where forestry has been widely practiced for a long time. Germany is one of those countries. There, the use of most of the land has become fairly well stabilized. More than one-fourth of the land surface is covered with forest, and a large part of the forest area has been under relatively intensive management for Well over a-hundred years.

This study was undertaken for the purpose of learning the extent to which the German forests afford work opportunities, partiarly for rural people. It must be recognized from the start that political and social institutions and economic conditions in Germany are very unlike those in this country. Any form of sustained-yield forest management which may be developed in this country, therefore, must spring from our own economic conditions and political and social traditions. In working out methods and policies adapted to our own conditions, however, it is helpful to know what has happened elsewhere.

One fact, borne out by long experience not only in Germany but also in other countries with quite different institutions and philos Ophiss, is that managed forests do provide a large and reasonably steady volume of work, and thereby contribute immeasurably toward the existence and welfare of permanent agriture and settled rural populations. There is every reason to suppose that the general adoption of sustained-yield forest management in this country will have similar results.
