  1. Today has so far been sort of a lazy, under the weather loss but I'm feeling a little better at the moment so I'm going to see if I can do a small walk/hike.

    It was nice though, I did read and finish "Is a River Alive?" by Robert Macfarlane which I loved loved loved and HIGHLY recommend.

  2. "Forest Culture in Relation to Industrial Pursuits", 1 8 7 1
    Ferdinand Jacob Heinrich von Mueller on forestry:

    "Strange as it may appear, an impression seems to be prevailing in these communities, as if our forests have to serve no other purposes but to provide wood for our immediate and present wants, be it fuel or timber."

    "For even after warning of climatic changes, and after the commencing scarcity of wood, no forest administration … has been as yet initiated in any portion of Australia". Wilderness remained "unguarded" and in some places was "already annihilated". 

    "No statesman, I feel assured, would want to impoverish our woods at the expense of the next generation."
