Abstract

As a forester one of the best and worse things about my work is the time involved to grow a forest. Most benefits of my work will be realized long after my last steps are taken on this earth. It's comforting to me to know that 3 generations from now, people will be harvesting trees that I have planted, or that have regenerated from cuttings that I have made in the forest.
