A history of the Uganda Forest Department, 1951-1965

"The forests of Uganda and their management are of particular interest in the field of tropical forestry. Lying on the boundary between the lowland forests of the Congo basin and West Africa and the savannahs of East Africa, Uganda's abundant and reliable rainfall supports considerable areas of moist tropical forest, with much of the land suitable for the planting of fast growing tree crops." "This book, compiled by two former members of Uganda's forestry department, is not only an invaluable historical record but also provides authoritative experience from which to draw on for all involved in forestry and land management today."--BOOK JACKET.
