the art of restoration


Restoration is not always done by the rule and law of peer reviewed journal articles. Often it's the subtleties of finding oak seedlings where you thought you would plant them next year. Or forgetting you had seed for many years only to find that once sown, they germinated better than any other batch you'd ever sown. It's the observation with all the senses; spending lots of time in the field; taking copious notes. Then, just when you thought you had something figured out, mama nature pulls the rug right out from under your feet.
I'm humbled out there.
