Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparation of Forest Working-Plans in India It is sought in these notes to explain, in a practical manner, the form in which working-plans such as are at present required for the State forests of India, should be compiled, so that it may be possible to apply and to control them. The discussion of calculations and theories which are inapplicable in the actual condition of Indian Forestry has, as far as possible, been avoided. The only means by which Local Governments have hitherto, as a rule, attempted to secure a supply of forest produce for the use of the agricultural population, has been by burdening forest lands with rights under settlements. Hence we find, in Northern India especially, many cases in which Government has voluntarily rendered itself helpless to prevent the destruction of the forest property it desires to preserve. Such mistakes will cease to be made when it is realised that the purpose with which each forest should be managed can be prescribed by means of working-plans. But, in order that the vast areas under the control of the Forest Department in India may be brought under the provisions of working-plans within a measurable distance of time, it is necessary that the agency of subordinate officers should be more largely utilised than has hitherto been the custom in the collection of the data on which these plans are based; and that this may be feasible, some such instructions as the present are obviously required. The writer desires to acknowledge the aid he has derived from the work on Amenagement, recently published by Monsieur Puton, Directeur de l'École nationale forestiere in France.
