Re-read the intro to the book last night in bed with the girlfriend, who hasn't been exposed to the book before. It's a great partner activity, actually, and she's keen to learn more as we read through. Hopefully I'll get her signed up to the forums to participate.
I have to echo what's being said about coppicing and the excitement around it: it's like the fountain of youth for trees. I attended a seminar during my PDC about coppicing willows for living fencing and all of the potential for that. If only we humans lived 300 years to reap the extended benefits of that!
More soon as we (re-)read Chapter 1...
