New post discusses the importance of preserving the wisdom of forest
stewardship for future generations.
"....One of the realizations I've come to having worked many hours in
the woods, is that forestry and agroforestry are inherently humbling
practices, because when we enter the world of trees and forests, we have
to look beyond years and decades, and start thinking about centuries.
Many of the consequences of the choices we make (good or bad) in our
lifetime, won't be seen until the next generation. Working with both
Mike and Ken have instilled in me the notion that collecting, storing,
and sharing the wisdom of one generation of forest stewards is essential
to keeping healthy forests around for the long haul. This cultural
preservation is as important, if not more important, than learning tree
ID or and farming and forestry skills."
