Forestry and Forest Management (before 1945)

Pre-war Forestry Literature of Scientific and Collectible Value

We present a carefully selected section of books published before 1945 dedicated to forestry, forest management, dendrology, and the protection of natural resources. This is exceptional professional literature documenting the development of forest sciences, forest management, and the use of natural resources from the 19th century until the outbreak of World War II.

The collection includes old forestry books, academic textbooks, practical guides, official publications, and specialized studies concerning forest cultivation, forest arrangement, protection of stands, and forest economy. Many of them are rare pre-war books that today constitute a valuable source of historical knowledge and are of interest to collectors, foresters, and researchers of economic history.

Particular value is held by first editions of forestry textbooks, publications of scientific institutions, and Polish old prints related to the management of natural resources and the history of Polish forestry.

Forest Cultivation, Forest Arrangement, and Forest Sciences

One of the most important areas of pre-war forestry literature are publications devoted to forest cultivation, forest arrangement, and forest management planning. These books document the development of methods for managing stands, forest regeneration, and rational use of forest resources.

Dendrology, Forest Botany, and Nature Protection

Pre-war books about trees, dendrology, and forest botany constitute an important part of the section. They include descriptions of tree and shrub species as well as topics on plant biology and nature protection.

Forestry and Hunting – Natural Connections

Forestry has been closely linked with hunting and game management for centuries. Hunters not only use forest resources but often actively participate in their protection, regulation of game populations, and co-management of forest ecosystems. In many pre-war publications, forestry and hunting issues are discussed together as elements of a coherent natural economy.

Therefore, for those interested in forest topics, we especially recommend the hunting books section, where numerous publications concerning hunting, forest game, hunting traditions, and forest environment management can be found:
