A walk in the woods
Amelia Newcomb
Our in-depth lead story today introduces you to two professionals who represent a shift in thinking about an essential ecosystem. As Weekly Editor Noelle Swan notes, “Where foresters of the past focused on sustaining tree populations to ensure future harvests, this new generation of ecological foresters looks to nurture the vast web of plants and wildlife that make up an ecosystem.”
We’re not talking either/or outlooks; just look at the story’s headline. The focus is on better understanding what makes forests thrive. So I hope you’ll take a refreshing walk in the woods with writer Richard Mertens.
