Abstract
THE review of the future policy of the Imperial Forestry Institute in NATURE of May 1 contains a criticism of the proposal to replace tours of instruction in Germany, France and Switzerland by tours in the Scandinavian countries where forestry has not reached such an advanced or specialized stage. It is pointed out that whereas students in British forestry schools probably receive sufficient grounding in European forestry, those officers whose training has been outside Europe should be given an opportunity of seeing the best examples of organized forestry in countries like Germany, France and Switzerland, where the ecological, economic and sociological foundations have been most fully worked out.
