Lori, I think you’re right about why most foresters choose their profession. And there is of course a real need for the art of forestry (I don’t believe it’s a science, any more than anthropology is). Unfortunately capitalism and government subsidies mess everything up.

Must. Have. More. Wolf. Trees.

This was a chilling and wonderful post (of course tracked back to it through Oekologie.)

To wander through woods and see implicit price tags on every bit of growth…dang.

I understand that people need a source of income to live, but I assume one becomes a forester because of a desire to stay close to backcountry. I wonder what it does to those people when they’re schooled to see everything they love as money-to-come, and that money-to-come for a corporate office.

Beautiful images. Wolf tree was a new term for me. Says so much, doesn’t it.

Thanks for the comments, y’all. I added a little more text to some of the Flickr pages this morning, too – I was thinking of submitting this to the new Oekologie blog carnival (see two posts back).

Nice concept and wonderful photos. I have yet to see pinesap, though I have encountered Indian Pipes. Liked that turtle!

So many beautiful things. It was nice to see some fauna, too, especially the cautious turtle.
