Joe,
Thanks for the gracious comments. Hey, when are you coming my directions. Got some trees to show you and questions to ask. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Zorzin" <[email protected]> To: "ENTS" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 7:39:50 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [ENTS] "Wilderness Comes Home - Rewilding the Northeast" "Wilderness Comes Home - Rewilding the Northeast", edited by Christopher McGrory Klyza and with a chapter by Bob Leverett! This book is about a decade old- and somehow I never saw it until recently though I've read bits and pieces of writings by Bob. Chapter 3 is written by Bob, "Old-Growth Forests of the Northeast". I'm sure many/most of you are familiar with the book but if not, I strongly recommend it. Bob's chapter is incredibly good! When I read a book- I have my red pen with me and I underline the good stuff and add check marks for very good stuff and stars for super good stuff. This chapter almost wore out my pen! When I get time I'm going to pass along some quotes from the chapter- for now I'll offer one, perhaps the best: "No reservoir of indigenous wisdom about the Northeast forests flows from European Americans, and that which existed in Native American culture has been irretrievably lost." That's a gem! ***** Joe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
