“ ... forestry is not about trees ... it is about people ...
... it is about trees only insofar as trees can serve the needs of people”
Jack Westoby 1967
“forest policy has to balance, in one way or the other,
the relation of society with the forest resource…”
Adriaan van Maaren 1984
“the sustainable forest is controversial for good reason: any one definition
represents particular values at others’ expense”
Jeff Romm 1993
