Jennifer’s article is really about challenging our perceptions. But I ask, why this new focus on facts, stats or science? Long before we became articulate, forest management was an art form.

We shared that responsibility with other creatures too. It should remain so.

Good observation comes with a trained eye though and our visual skills will always exceed our verbal when it comes to dealing with trees and logs. From birth we develop vision and perspective and I suggest the landscape artist has the best measure in nature.
Emotion must come into that but let’s not go into the difference between the sexes here.

The history of any forest or woodland is written in the trees. Their form tells me much and even in death they tell tales.

We don’t need a science degree to get a good result on the farm or in the garden either.

Let’s not have elitism around our trees.
