Hello from the UK. It great to be on your forum. I have looked at some of those very good videos and they make me feel home sick. I grow up on a farm in the 1950' Then worked in the entertainment industry, a carpenter. I have always had a feeling for the outdoors. I travels in Canada three times, living in the bush and visit different local Indian groups. Cree, Ojibwa and Dena.
I was searching for a link with nature. People that live close to the land, have a knowledges of the land, a sixth sense, rather than the modern Industrial agri business. I studied conservation, trees and short term coppicing, SRC. This is the growth of fast growing trees Willow and Poplar as a bio mass crops. The plan I am working on involves more, its not just fuel. A re-creation of an ecosystem. The old field boundary, a complete habitat, which is sustainable. I look forward to sharing ideas, but most of all gaining more information. Take care.
