The Detailed Content of Lasting Forests

Lasting Forests is the Web site home page of Robert H. Giles, Jr.

The site attempts to improve wildland and natural resource management by providing information, concepts, ideas, software, and links for students, practicioners, and landowners. The site contains over 1,000 files.

Lasting Forests, in addition to being a web site, www.LastingForests.com, is also

The following are the major units of the site with sub units to which users may click.

  1. Antler Points

    A set of newsletter and other articles about deer. The following are articles developed to assist The Deer Group and assist in other areas of the web site. Some have been used in articles in Whitetail Times.

    1. The Deer Group
      Comment: The Deer Group is a bold new program of the private sector to develop a productive wild mule deer and white-tailed deer resource with net benefits to citizens within the region. The program is unique, broad in scale, open to all citizens, and is resource based. It seeks a variety of human benefits from all aspects of the deer resource while at the same time reducing costs and losses. The Group gives the following articles extra meaning.

    Assignments

    The Assignments were made for a distance-learning course for graduate students by R.H. Giles in 1999 taught throught the Northern Virginia Graduate Center. The course was called Gamma Theory: Advanced Wildlife Resource Management. Assignments change each year in response to changing knowledge, teaching strategies, and student needs.

  3. The Dickenson Departure

    A web-site book under development about a radical new concept, a departure from the way that lands in the coalfields of Virginia may be used and managed. Based on years of work in Wise County, and The Crest report (1982), Giles describes the potentials for Lasting Forests concepts for the county and similar places in the world.

  6. Forest Fauna

    Following editing the Wildlife Society's Techniques Manual and writing the textbook Wildlife Management in 1978, I began work on Forest Faunal Systems. Many years later a 1600 page manuscript was ready. Various reviewers found faults, publishers saw a scant market, another wanted to reduce the size of the book, and my retirement loomed. I retired in 1998. Rather than pursue publication and a text that would be years out of date (and maybe out of phase with parts of society), I put the text on this web site. I believe many other texts will use this medium. WWW.Fatbrain.com has started a system to sell ematter in September,1999.

  8. Guidance

    Guidance is a dynamic planning system developed first for the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian Head, Maryland. It was further developed for Ft. A.P. Hill and has been extended into The Trevey for use on privately owned lands. It is under continual development.

  10. Lasting Forests

    With the same name as the web site and the WWW.LastingForests.com name, the following set of files are beileved to be the structure of the future wildland enterprise. They name the units or small companies linked together as the efficient enterprise. Wildland Intelligence provides the inputs and description of the area(s); The Trevey uses these and develops processes for presenting a "plan" on the web (or elsewhere as a paper document). These files describe the units of the enterprise and link to the technical details for the work needed within each. A gross budget estimate is presented in The Bottom Line.

    Ranging is an alternative word for tourism, ecotourism, sightseeing, hiking, camping, outdoor adventures, touring, biking, tramping, etc. - any and all of these. The Forests of Lasting Forests are believed to be where some of these activities can be useful and profitable and an entire region can benefit from planned and coordinated work to give recognition to diverse potential for residents as well as outsiders/ visitors. Many units parallel or support the units of Lasting Forests.

  17. Trevey

    The Trevey (pronounced like "peavey", the tool used by loggers), is a dynamic planning system being developed for serving private land owners and others as an enterprise within Lasting Forests. It is based on Guidance. Under development, the units of The Trevey may soon form the material of a "book", the old plan, to be available to the landowner on the Web. Data are from GIS and field forms.
