Explore how France’s forests shape its land, economy, and wartime resilience. This study surveys French forestry from policy and administration to private practices, forest health, regeneration, and reforestation. It reveals how cooperation among French and Allied forces steered timber supply during war and shaped postwar forest management.
The book blends historical context with practical detail. You’ll see how laws, working plans, and market methods govern wood sales, how forests prevent erosion, and how natural regeneration and artificial reforestation are pursued. It also highlights the roles of national and private forests, plus lessons learned by American forest engineers in France.
Ideal for readers of forestry history, public policy, and environmental administration who want clear, practical context on how forests support both nation and industry.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of French forestry, beginning with the protectionist policies of Louis XIV and the subsequent penal code established during his reign. The author traces how the French Revolution ushered in a period of deforestation, followed by the re-establishment of forest conservation laws in the 19th century. These laws were designed to prevent devastation and preserve forests for their role in protecting watersheds, preventing erosion, and providing a habitat for wildlife. The book also examines the role of forests in French culture, including their use as a source of recreation and inspiration for artists and writers. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of French forestry practices and their impact on the country's landscape and culture.
