Abstract
A mathematical model based on Usher’s matrix model is developed for harvesting a forest resource. This paper examines the problem of determining the maximum of trees subject to conditions that a fixed population size and age structure be maintained after every time interval. It is shown how to determine an optimal harvesting policy. If the largest class is to be completely harvested while the lower classes be harvested at a fixed proportion of trees of each category.
