BOOK REVIEW 



Working Plan for Forest Lands of Pen- 

 insula State Park, Door County, Wis- 

 consin. By Cedric H. Guise. State of 

 Wisconsin, Conservation Commission, 

 Bulletin No. 3, pp. 45, figs. 5, and map. 

 Madison, Wisconsin, 1917. 

 Peninsula State Park is a much visited 

 forest of 3,733 acres. Three-fourths of 

 this Park is wooded. "With a view to man- 

 aging the forests of this Park for sus- 

 tained yield," says the Introduction, "and 

 for organizing the forests and forest lands 

 to their highest productive capacity, a for- 

 est survey was made of this area, and 

 from the data secured, a complete work- 

 ing plan was prepared for the ensuing ten 

 years." 



Then follows the working plan itself 

 which, so far as the reviewer is aware, is 

 the only published working plan made in 

 conformity to the latest developments in 

 forest organization. 



The plan itself divides into the follow- 

 ing main headings with the pages devoted 

 to each : 



1 Orientation Location, History, Physi- 

 ography and Social and Industrial Features, 

 3 pages. 



2 Foundation Estimate, Stand and 

 Stock, Forest Types, Increment, Division 

 of Area, 6yi pages. 



3 Recommendation Policy of State, Ob- 

 jects of Management, Silvicultural manage- 

 ment, yA pages. 



4 Regulation of Cut Amount, Location 

 of Cut, Planting Plan, 5 pages. 

 5 Administration, ]4 page. 

 6 Permanent Improvements, J4 page. 

 7 Forest Protection, 1 page. 

 8 Control and Revision, Yt page. 

 9 Appendix, i6J4 pages. 

 From this the brevity of treatment of 

 the plan proper is at once apparent. Data 

 "not essential to the execution of the work- 

 ing plan" are put in the Appendix. Fur- 

 thermore, wherever possible the informa- 

 tion has been presented in tabular form. 

 There are seven tables in the main body 

 of the plan and thirteen in the appendix 

 twenty all told. 



These first seven tables will bear analy- 

 sis and deserve special study. The first 

 table gives the estimate of timber by 

 species and shows the following species in 

 order of greatest quantity: (board feet) 

 hemlock, maple, beech, white pine, oak, 

 balsam, red pine and ash. The total volume 

 is nearly five million board feet. 



Table 2 is a stand table, showing num- 

 ber of trees per average acre. Here the 

 order of species is : Paper birch, maple,
