This web site provides one means for us to communicate. I hope you will contribute your observations, ideas, and discoveries. Perhaps a visit will be helpful. I'll try to pass along your contributions to users of the site. You may also gain information about and services for improving the way that rural lands and wildlands and their resources can be well managed over the longrun for the people of a region or state. I'll try to be helpful.

The site is for you and it is free. Perhaps you will find a way to support it financially in the future through involvement with one or more of the units of Lasting Forests.

Healthy at age 67 (in 2000) I, nevertheless, am acutely aware that I'm running out of time in which to "promote", argue for, or in other ways encourage people to start the Lasting Forests enterprise and all that it can mean to Virginians and others and their resources. I'll welcome your advice and involvement.

Call me anytime in Virginia at 540-552-8672. Write to me at 504 Rose Avenue, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060 USA or use e-mail, either the form below or by a direct link.
