Hello Theresa!
Thank you !!
I am so glad they are doing a kickstarter for this movie so we can see how all this stuff is done!
It is pretty impressive to see these huge projects come together. From taking down the trees to turning them into magnificent structures and furniture. I have my own land with big pines that need to come down. If only I had a crew of strong lovely folks to build stuff for me!
At Wheaton Labs they really make stuff look easy. A lot of it is the tricks and knowing what to do.

I took down most of my poplars as well, and have been replacing them with indigenous edibles: this bridges the gap between "taming" the forest, and preserving it. For example, beech trees with pawpaws, raspberries, and medicinal flowering plants as understories. In fact, the best luck we've had with edibles has been with those that are from this region. For instance, our Jerusalem artichokes and Algonquin pumpkins fare far better than the introduced Solanaceae plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and the like.
