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!
