In an earlier publication on California's forest-zone hardwoods, 22 reasons were offered for the failure of a sustained hardwood industry to develop. This report presents knowledge developed over the past 18 years on each of these reasons. Progress is reflected in society's shift from a negative to a positive attitude towards the hardwood industry, better estimates of the inventory base and resource values, the advent of small portable sawmills, better lumber drying schedules and equipment, and recognizing the need to furnish promotional material to architects, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. Realization that the many and complex hardwood ecosystems have value far beyond wood products has led to a new management perspective with four essential parts: emphasis, scheduling, silviculture, and total yield. Hardwood management in the near future will reflect a broadened emphasis on wildlife, water, esthetics, and wood. Desired ecological types will be needed on a schedule involving their timely creation, maintenance, and manipulation over the landscape in perpetuity. Silviculturists will achieve these ecological types, and the resulting amenities and commodities should serve rural California well.

Interest in utilizing California's forest-zone hardwoods for lumber and wood products has waxed and waned for more than 140 years. In spite of many unsuccessful ventures, strong interest is once again evident from landowners, processors, consumers, and policy makers. Their interest suggests a need to know past pitfalls, to recognize some realities of hardwood properties and related processing needs, and to build on knowledge gained from the past. A critical analysis of past hardwood practices and problems leads to 22 reasons for the failure of a sustained hardwood industry to develop. These include negative attitudes, higher logging and manufacturing costs, and numerous marketing problems. New developments such as changing attitudes, realistic view of costs, better processing techniques, new inventory and ecological information, marketing of secondary products, and development of problem solving organizations lead to guarded optimism that a successful hardwood industry in California can be realized.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Symposium on Multiple-Use Management of California's Hardwood Resources: November 12-14, 1986, San Luis Obispo, California The Symposium on the Ecology, Management, and Utilization of California Oaks held in June 1979 at Claremont, California, was the first to take a comprehensive look at California's native oak resource. At that time, interest in several species of California oaks was rapidly growing with particular concern about their regeneration, preservation, and wildlife relationships. Urbanization and loss of oak woodlands was beginning to focus a new facet of concern on hardwoods, and regulations to monitor their use were established or seriously considered by a number of county governments. Until that time, hardwood research was extremely limited, mostly in a few specialized areas, and probably more time and effort had been spent to control hardwoods than to grow and manage them. What has happened with hardwoods in the 7 years after the first oak symposium? A comparison of the numbers of papers and participants between the two meetings indicates the interest that has developed in hardwoods during this time. In 1979, about 200 people heard 52 reports. In 1986, there were 73 technical reports plus 2 keynote addresses and 12 poster presentations and over 500 participants. In addition to this large increase in symposium participation, a number of other hardwood-related developments have occurred including these.
