This book introduces a provisional working plan for regulating the management of large tracts of Philippine public forest, using a tract operated by the Insular Lumber Company as a model. The author provides the historical background of lumbering in the region before diving into a thorough analysis of the commercial forest on the Insular Lumber Company's tract. This portion of the book details stand and yield data of the six principal species in the forest as well as information on their reproduction and growth habits. The author shares insights on the decay and defects commonly found in these speciesâ"including those caused by insect damage and fungiâ"and considers silvicultural treatments. The text also explores minor tree species, damage to which the forest is susceptible, and ongoing efforts to protect it. The author concludes with a look at the company's logging operations, which employ a steam logging system similar to that used in the western United States.
