Produktbeschreibung

Antrim County, Michigan, is the second-largest owner of community forest lands in the state of Michigan. Our Forest Legacy: A History of Antrim County Municipal Forest Management highlights Antrim County's long dedication to land acquisition, forestry, and conservation from the 1930s to the present. The county owns more than five thousand acres of public land devoted to various community usage. Roughly ninety percent of these properties have been devoted to forestry and the protection of natural areas and park lands. The purchase of community forests has allowed the county to generate income and to implement conservation practices that can be replicated on other privately owned properties. This book provides some insight into the forest management activities that have occurred on each county-owned parcel. These include tree planting, forest improvement projects, harvesting projects, river restoration, and recreational projects.
