Trade Review“…[
Community Forestry in Canada]'s layout in 14 stand-alone chapters makes it accessible, and it will be of interest to students studying social forestry or forestry practitioners working in the field of community forestry within the UK or worldwide […] Twenty-eight people contributed to this book and it is extremely well referenced, confirming it a useful source of information. -- David White * Chartered Forester *
This is the first anthology on the subject of community forestry to specifically examine the Canadian context … This volume provides insights into how policy and governance surrounding community forestry in Canada is being reshaped through strong public processes initiated by local residents and organizations … How will these kinds of political-economic negotiations affect the ongoing development of community forestry in British Columbia, as well as in other parts of Canada? For people on the ground grappling with these questions, Teitelbaum’s compilation provides a vital starting point.
-- Erika Bland * BC Studies *
Though this work will be most relevant to readers in Canada or those with a specific focus in Canadian studies, it will also be a strong resource for individuals interested in forest governance and/or community-based resource management. Summing Up: Recommended. -- J. L. Rhoades, Antioch University New England * CHOICE, April 2017 *
