WOODLANDS, GAME, AND SPORT 311 
entitles this typically British form of forestry to 
the strongest claim for favourable consideration 
as regards future management of woodlands on 
a more economic basis than has been customary 
in the past. Pheasant shooting in particular can 
easily be amply provided for by encouraging the 
growth of berry-producing shrubs along the edges 
of the rides or green lanes, useful for autumn 
game-driving, and necessary in any case for the 
proper conduct of forest operations according to 
a fixed plan of operations or comprehensive scheme 
of management. In large woods special plots 
can be reserved and specially treated for phea- 
sants by being thrown out of the general scheme 
of management. 
Certainly, if the woodlands in the British Isles 
be extended so as in future to be able to produce 
at any rate a larger share of the timber we annu- 
ally require in vast and ever-increasing quantity, 
and if these be managed on economic and not 
on merely arboricultural principles, true sports- 
men will be the gainers, for Sport will then be 
raised up once more from the rather degraded 
position to which it has gradually sunk during 
the course of the last fifty or sixty years.
