Abstract: This paper is an epitome of the comprehensive report on the earlier-stage study on the forestry in 2000. This study aiming at seeking different ways for forestry construction to serve the overall development of the society discusses and proves the assigned subject that cultivation of forest resources is a major programme of fundamental importance in forestry construction, and expounds the basic viewpoints in the study such as to study the development of forest resources from the viewpoints of entirety, interrelation and development, and to study the construction of forest resourccs from the viewpoint of broadening sources of income and reducing expenditure. Starting from these viewpoints, we carried out a quantitative calculation on the developing tendency of the forest resources in our country and drew an outline of long-term forestry development in our country with concentrated efforts on exploring various constructive plans to put an end to the decline of the resources for selective discussions and for final selection by policymakers. We also put forward some opinions on the later-stage work—the guideline for the study on the strategy of forestry development.
