The land use and management decisions made by forest landowners will help deter mine whether the region will enjoy healthy, sustainable wildlife populations. Enhancing Wildlife Habitats: A Practical Guide' for Forest Landowners. NRAES-64, is a comprehensive guide designed specifically for private, non-industrial forest owners. In a straightforward style, it outlines strategies for developing a well-focused plan to encourage and manage wildlife on woodlots. Its recom mendations apply to virtually any size forest, from one acre to several thousand. The initial sections of the book are designed to give readers a clear understanding of the complex plant and animal interactions they may encounter on their woodlots. Featured in these sections are topics such as forest growth, the forest community, wildlife populations, and the basic components of good habitats. Later sections discuss encour aging the growth of specific animal popula tions. Descriptions, ranges, life histories, and habitat requirements of many wildlife species are included. The book includes chapters on basic forest wildlife ecology, understanding wildlife habi tats, American woodcock and ruffed grouse, white-tailed deer and eastern wild turkey, other upland forest wildlife species, and wet land wildlife, as well as a appendix, glossary, and references. Review questions involving key themes are also included at the end of each chapter. The book is 172 pages long with 11 tables and over 100 figures, many of which are black-and white photographs. Of particular interest are suggested field exercises found at the end of each chapter. These exercises are designed to be both fun and productive and, if carried out, should put forest owners well on their way to a practical habitat management plan. The book NRAES-64, was written by Scott S. Hobson, chief biologist at Keyes Associ ates and Environmental Scientific; John S. Barclay, associate professor of wildlife man agement and extension wildlife specialist at the University of Connecticut: and Stephen H.
