The Wonks are the names of major principles or driving concepts used throughout the design of Lasting Forests and The Trevey. These are topics of lectures, Gamma Theory, and other units and are believed to be the best presently known for restoring, preserving, and managing the wildlands, at least those of the eastern US. Taken as a whole (otherwise almost meaningless), they seem to be a unique basis for superior, modern wildland management. If you cannot find them within the site or need assistance, call (540-552-8672) or write to me.
