Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 1 The good forester then, also, allows the forest to become less, but only where it cannot be helped; the poor forester, on the other hand, spoils them everywhere. Without utilization, the forest soil improves constantly if used in orderly manner it remains in a natural equilibrium; if used faultily it becomes poorer.
