     It has been a year since my book was published and I want to thank those that have supported our efforts to make a difference in the science of Forestry. My concerns grow stronger with each passing year. The past 12 months has been exciting as we have traveled and presented seminars and programs to a variety of groups and individuals. We have made a special effort to reach out to several Native American Tribes and individuals, as I truly believe their culture understands the complexity of nature in greater depth than our Western culture. It is this ability to appreciate and understand how our lives are connected and dependent upon the relationships we share with all of our surroundings and creatures, that holds the key to successful management of our remaining forested lands. Our efforts to reach others during this past year has provided significant knowledge and understanding for us. Several people with American Indian ancestry have shared with us wisdom of their traditional knowledge passed down from their elders that has allowed us to develop an even deep appreciation for the need to adjust our forest management goals for the future. We knew nothing of the Seven Fire Prophecies of the Anishinaabe Nation when I was writing the book, but were amassed to find how close the Seventh Prophecy matches our major focus for the book. Yes, this past year has had a strong influence on us and has encouraged us to reach others interested in the human environment. Our hope is that the Native American people will find it possible to share their Traditional Knowledge, WISDOM, about nature, and our Western culture and scientists will recognize the importance and need to incorporate this wisdom into the scientific process for managing our valuable forests!
     Thank you again for your support and we would be very interested in your thoughts. Have a Merry Christmas!
