These sentences have stayed with me all weekend. 'He asked me how come Irish foresters had got it so wrong. I told him they hadn’t got it wrong. That they have made a fantastic start by establishing forests where none had grown for centuries. That now we can build on these brave beginnings by working with these plantations as pioneer forests.' You're on your way to create content for a great book!! Cathy Jan,
