We also had to manage the water collection watersheds. As such I worked with the forestry experts and other specialists who guided our work technically. Later I took the background courses at San Francisco State to get a better grasp of what I had been doing and had done. I also spent 5 years working at the Earth Island Institute where I was exposed to some of the top area environmental biologists, botanists, forestry experts and sustainable farming agronomists. For the last decade I have kept up on some of the reading and a lot of the news. Most of what I have said here is easily available on line. Most of it is not controversial. There is a fire ecology exhibit at the Oakland Museum that shows the whole process well. Don Macleayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083015728635699181noreply@blogger.com
