"The publisher succeeded in persuading the author to bring out his experiences in the field of forestry spanning a period of about forty years in a book form so that society can benefit from the accumulated knowledge. In keeping with the philosophy of the author about lateral thinking and off beat ideas, this book is different from the conventional books on the subject. It is hoped that practicing foresters and others at decision making levels will find it useful in greening of India."
