Happy Holidays Everyone!

December 24, 2017 by Sharon

It is that special time of the year during which we can sing to trees without risking societal opprobrium. Here’s Nat King Cole in German:

May peace, love and hope fill your hearts, your families and our world this season of Hanukkah/Solstice/Christmas/Kwanzaa.

Recommended Comment Considerations

When commenting, please consider the three doors that charitable speech must pass through. The gatekeeper at the door asks, "Is it true?" The second gatekeeper asks, "Is it helpful?" The third gatekeeper asks, "Is it kind?" (adapted from the writings of Krishnamurti by James Martin on p. 169 of his book "Between Heaven and Mirth.)

Purpose

We intend to provide a forum where different academic communities (social, physical and biological disciplines, law, policy), agency employees and retirees, students and the general public can come together to share perspectives on national forest management and planning.
