The work which has been undertaken by the IUFRO Research Group on forest law and environmental legislation during the last decade reflects the increasing importance of policy and legislation in forest resource conservation and management. It confirms the interest of both lawyers and foresters in exchanging experience and information on the dynamic evolution of relevant law in various countries.

The collection of 28 research papers provides an overview of the dynamic and multifaceted development of forest and environmental law in North America and its impact on forest conservation, forestry practices and sustainable resources management. The majority of the contributions deal with legislative and regulatory changes in the United States, and several others address public land tenure and timber allocation procedures in Canada. They have been selected from the proceedings published in 1990, 1992 and 1996 by the Research Group 6.13.00 Forest Law and Environmental Legislation of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations, IUFRO. The collection of texts provides a source of information set in an international and interregional perspective, and a useful reference for comparative analysis.
