Silvivcultural Terms in Canada / Terminologie de la Sylviculture au Canada
Ottawa Canadian Forest Service 1995 Second Canadian Edition Spiral Bound Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
109 pages (English) 114 pages (French) what I find useful about this book is the translation of terms, in both languages - so that where "selective thinning" appears in English, [éclaircie sélective] the French term appears beside it, and the same on the French side
