About This Book

An examination of the aesthetic sources in American woodland landscapes describes how tree forms, shrubs, rocks, mosses, air, and sound combine to produce forest beauty. The work surveys common and notable broadleaf and conifer species, sets out criteria for choosing trees valued for appearance and utility, and outlines geographic distribution and characteristic forest types. It considers how forestry practices change scenic appearance, contrasts natural stands with European artificial forests, and supplies practical observations and illustrations that guide appreciation of the forms, textures, and arrangements that create sylvan charm.
