Abstract: [First paragraph...]
John Walker’s contribution “Clauswitz on forestry” in the February issue made some good points. The issues mentioned are well presented in John’s usual style but they are nothing new to people who are interested in quality. Several people (including John himself) have given this information at numerous public meeting and workshops over the years. In particular, the statement “until 2004, foresters had not investigated such effects” is totally wrong. He ignores the wood quality, silviculture and breeding research at Rotorua for the past 50 years, starting with Orman (Timber engineer), Harris (Wood Quality scientist) and Ib Thulin (Tree breeder).
