This 60 page booklet describes a new system of sustainable forest management for private woodlot owners.            SmartWood certified resource manager - Jim Birkemeier - illustrates basic forest management principles in common sense language, from the forest owner's point of view.  Full Vigor Forestry is building your forest into fully stocked stands of high quality large trees that are growing with great vigor.  Then you regularly harvest the annual growth, using low impact logging methods, producing a regular income from the forest.      This is like building up your retirement account to the maximum principle,  then living off the interest, always keeping your principle intact.
