Check out “Resilience Thinking” by Brian Walker. https://www.amazon.com/Resilience-Thinking-Sustaining-Ecosystems-Changing/dp/1597260932

I think why your professor is trying to get here is that we resources as linear. “Stressor A” effects “resource B” without consideration to all the roles played by every part of the system, including humans. My Natural Resource professor taught a lot out of this book and it really opened up the way I see management especially when buzzwords like “natural””conservation””native and non-native species” get tossed around like common knowledge without a deeper view of the supporting and regulating systems at play. We tend to see the resources we want to harvest or protect and focus on that to get a measure product out of our efforts, like putting gas in an engine and getting the combustion we want for motion. Ecosystems aren’t linear in this way. Just a thought of what your professor might be trying to get at. The book I put a link to has lots of real case studies (it’s actually mostly case studies) so it’s not theory or idealism of conservation. Real stuff. Enjoy!

Issue iPhones to everyone. Throw them in a Lifeproof or Otterbox case, and carry on. You can buy 10 of them for the cost of a "rugged" Nomad or whatnot, with a beyond-end-of-life Windows Mobile operating system that blows, and it'll still cost $800 to replace a broken screen. Yes, wet-screen operation on is not great, but drop a few bucks on a small silicone squeegee that you'll clip to your vest and use to wipe the screen when it gets too wet.

Thanks for the fantastic response and congratulations on finishing your BS :)

I'll check out the book you mentioned there - much appreciated!

Link to the book on Amazon if anyone after me is interested

I didnt see your last post, but it depends on what aspect you're interested in. About the only book that I find really helpful from school was this one. Avery and Burkhart

Dunlops with bamas

The dunlops are great boots, the warmest that you'll ever find. They look clunky but I swear they're not. Bamas go over your socks, inside your boot. They wick moisture from your sock, at the end of the day the bama will be soaked from sweat but your sock will be totally dry. Not sure how they'll do with snowshoes, but you may never buy another winter boot again.

I have this one. I'm a concrete contractor and as such am hard on watches. This one has held up every bit as well as a G Shock that I had, and better than all the other ones. I put a NATO strap on it for retention redundancy, and it has saved me from losing it multiple times.

No you are absolutely correct. Rodeo is one version of glyphosate that is "safe" (right?) near water. Even though I'm rarely in that situation, it's easier to just use that version all the time and not bother keeping two varieties on hand. And yeah, it'll blitz everything.

Theres an okay app called V tree on IOS, it goes through some questions and helps narrow down species w/ pictures. It doesn't really teach you what a lot of the ID terms mean, though.

I took a plant ID course in college where it basically taught us how to use the key in an ID book.

I own this book:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0394507606/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its for the Northeast, but the same organization makes guides nationwide. Nice pictures.

You may find what you're looking for in something like this book:

Integrated Landscaping: Following Nature’s Lead (Unh Non-Series Title) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1611682789/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_BZB199BVJ3TMDBG65B1M

I am also a female forestry student. I don't have any specific knowledge for that area, but I know it was difficult for me to find pants to cruise in. I finally landed on Carhartt. Surprisingly, they make their women's pants out of almost exactly the same material as they make the men's line and the pockets are actually functional which usually isn't the case. They are about $45 on Amazon and will last a long time. If you know your boot size, it is much easier to order online because, atleast in my area, it's hard to find work boots in women's sizes in physical stores. Other than that I also bought several pairs of cheap cargo pants for cruising so I wouldn't lose anything.

I am not going to respond to all those comments farther any more unless it is to discuss the object of this post which was related to forestry and the creation of revenue on the US hardwood industry. I have documented my post with a huge amount of information that was the point of the discussion there.

It seams among the comments that people don't know the rules of reddit, so I thought that this article would help the discussion: https://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2019/01/23/reddits-model-community-offers-a-prototype-for-controversial-discussions/

If you don't plan to read, don't even respond, this is not the place for it.

Yeah im thinking it might be a salt-lick for attracting game like YetAnotherFreddy said.

Use Garlon spray at 2x - 3x strength to handle the poison ivy. Respray in 2 weeks if not dead.

I use Ortho Poison Ivy Tough Brush Killer in the 32 Oz. concentrate bottle from Home Depot. Do NOT use the gallon jug with the sprayer on it. It's 9 times weaker.

This is what I use. https://www.amazon.com/Ortho-Poison-Tough-Brush-Killer/dp/B00AZSPLTM

You can find it at local yard supply stores, Home Depot and Walmart. Remember to only get the 32 Oz. bottle.

This book covers modern land management but it's a very interesting look at the conflicts that can arise between Indigenous and settler land management, even when both groups have the same goal. There is lots of good info about pre-colonial land and wildlife management in this book because colonialism came relatively recently to the Kluane people so a lot of that knowledge is still intact.

Hunters & Bureaucrats By Paul Nadasdy

> "This book challenges this conventional wisdom that land claims and co-management – two of the most visible and celebrated elements of this restructuring the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state – will help reverse centuries of inequity. Based on three years of ethnographic research in the Yukon, the author examines the complex relationship between the people of Kluane First Nation, the land and animals, and the state. This book moves beyond conventional models of colonialism, in which the state is treated as a monolithic entity, and instead explores how “state power” is reproduced through everyday bureaucratic practices – including struggles over the production and use of knowledge."

Custom 3D printed holder?

A temporary adhesive putty like Blu-Tack? Also known as museum putty.

Stiff wire, threaded through the lanyard hole and wrapped around the stylus?

Hot glue or hide glue, removable with heat?

Danner logging boots serve me well. Oil them every few months and good to go. They’re almost more comfy than tennis shoes as well

We use the basic helmet from Husqvarna, works fine: https://www.amazon.com/Husqvarna-ProForest-Chain-Helmet-System/dp/B0030MIHBY

There are more expensive models but I don't see the point of those.

> Coast redwood: a natural and cultural history by cachuma press

https://www.amazon.com/Coast-Redwood-Natural-Cultural-History/dp/096285056X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Coast+redwood%3A+a+natural+and+cultural+history+by+cachuma+press&qid=1566451069&s=gateway&sr=8-1

This textbook is a collection of forest management plans from industry, state agencies, federal agencies and consulting foresters from the US and Canada. A lot of different management perspectives, landowner objectives and formats, all in one place.

Not cheap though.

It might be worth checking out A Critique of Silviculture by Puettmann. It offers a good overview of silviculture, it's history, and relationship with ecology. It's also on the shorter side (~200p).

Just a note: the later parts of the book focus pretty heavily on managing for complexity.

Read this book It explains how to figure out the history of a forest based on current subtle physical features. Might be neat to incorporate some of this CSI type of info into your book.
