Aspects of Rural Estate Management - Tapa blanda

This book considers land ownership and occupation and their role in maintaining the countryside and the businesses carried on there. It emphasises the responsibilities that are increasingly the subject of critical examination in an era when environmental concerns are of unprecedented and ever-growing importance.

Land management is a profession but it is also an art, and needs to be practised as such. The theme of this book is that the art of managing the landed estate - a unique and precious asset - demands the setting of clear objectives and the monitoring of progress. For the institutional owner the objectives may be framed in a firm long-term context: for the private individual, unsure of maintaining family ownership, the over-riding aim may be to structure and manage the estate so that it is passed on as a viable entity to future generations.
