A wood that pays is a wood that stays - By: Charles Holst, 30 Aug 2007 
An excellent book for students & landowners, it starts with a brief history of woodlandin Britain, followed by a chapter on tree biology & sylvicultural systems which is comprehensive & writtenin refreshingly plain english. The native & commonly used non-native trees are then detailed followed by how to draw up a management plan, essential if you want grant aid. Then the nitty-gritty of planting, protecting, measurement & marketing.
This is a very practical book on managing woodlands as a whole, very sensitive to their wildlife & landscape value but stressing that woodlands that pay are more likely to last.
