Of course there is field work ahead and small teams will form to assist in direct land management. Perhaps there are leadership roles for some people. I admit to not knowing how Lasting Forests will emerge. There are some advantages but the for-profit format still seems most appropriate. I remain willing to evaluate this alternative further.
Despair is a wall around past disappointments.
I am convinced that Lasting Forests will exist and succeed, handsomely, some day. The sooner the better for resources and the ways for them to be managed. Within Lasting Forests , management will be better than at present on most public and private lands. Return to the top . Jr. Last revision January 17, 2000.
