Abstract
This chapter deals with Spanish forest history between 1855 and 1936, and specifically addresses forest policy and forest production, neither of which can be considered separately. Forest policy is divided into four stages (1855-75, 1875-1900, 1900-24, 1924-36), and the main features of each are analysed. These features could be arranged under two principal subjects: privatization of public land properties, and management of the public lands that remained (about 6.6 Mha). Forest production is analysed by production trend, forest product uses and changes in use and the productive features of the different administrative types of forests.
