The Future of Forestry

"The Future of Forestry" is a poem by C. S. Lewis; one of three poems; along with "Under Sentence" and "Pan's Purge", it or one of three poems where Lewis expressed concern about the impact that modern society and technology would have on the countryside.[1][2] It was first published in The Oxford Magazine in February 1938 and contains themes of social critique that would be present in Lewis's later Narnia series.[3][4] The poem has been compared to later poems, such as Philip Larkin's 1972 work "Going, Going".[5]

The name of the poem helped influence the naming of the California band Future of Forestry.[6][7]
