Necessary Forests: March 2013
http://necessaryforests.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. Trees Around Us Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Tree of Heaven is the dandelion of the tree world. It arrives unbidden and unwanted; it thrives with zero care; and it’s the devil to get rid it of once it gets its foot in the door. It thrives in the face of pollution, poor soil, drought, salt, heat, neglect, or hand-to-hand combat. And it looses hordes of seeds to be scattered by the wind. Tree of Heaven in Winter. April 1, 2008. A cluster of Ailanthus seeds. The Virginia Dep...

Monday, April 15, 2013. The blog contains sections from a book I've been working on of the same name. Feel free to ignore it, if you wish. Drafts of several chapters.

Necessary Forests: Introduction
http://necessaryforests.blogspot.com/p/introduction.html
For me as fish find the water where they breathe and live. Ragged Mountain Natural Area part of area to be lost with new dam. To have views about those things, especially when one of the goals of the book is to encourage us to change. What is the future of forests? What is the future of our forests? Dr Seuss’s The Lorax,. With its story of how deforestation and industrialization make a lovely world unlivable, looks more prescient with each passing day, forty years after its first publication. The changes...

Blue O'Connell's Musical Adventures: October 2014
http://blueoconnellsmusicaladventures.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Blue O'Connell's Musical Adventures. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Of dogs and the soundtrack of our lives. It's not often you see a dog in the ICU at a hospital! I think of music in this same way. Everyone loves music and it is always there for us, just like a loyal pet. We have songs that created the soundtrack of our lives. Songs that accompanied our happiest moments; a wedding, graduation, a new love and we have songs that helped us through our hardest times of loss, sorrow, challenge. Best of all was...

Necessary Forests: What Is a Forest?
http://necessaryforests.blogspot.com/p/what-is-forest.html
What Is a Forest? Our sense of what a thing is. That being the case, it seems only fair to give a sense of the ways I’ve known forests, so you have a perspective in which to place my comments. These are the kinds of moments I remember, in no particular order. Scrambling up steep slopes and sliding down rocky hollows in West Virginia in late fall, the thick layer of shifting oak leaves underfoot as slick and treacherous as ice. Slowly scanning an entire mountainside of stumps at a clearcut in the Cascades...

Of Principalities and Powers: Face-off at the DMV
http://ofprincipalitiesandpowers.blogspot.com/2014/06/face-off-at-dmv.html
Of Principalities and Powers. Monday, June 23, 2014. Face-off at the DMV. I took Kevin to the DMV yesterday to get his learners permit. I’d planned on sleeping in, but Patty roused us at 7. “It could take most of the morning,” she said, “and you’ll never get the grass cut if you sleep in.” She seemed to believe that was a negative. She turned and glanced at the box, looking puzzled. “You’re mistaken,” she said. “That’s not mine.” And she left. 8220;Huh,” I said. “Surely that wasn’t ...Kevin and I started...

Necessary Forests: Why Forests Matter
http://necessaryforests.blogspot.com/p/why-forests-matter.html
For several years now, I’ve been asked to do a presentation on winter tree identification for the local chapter of Tree Stewards. It is an honor to be in the company of a roomful of people who are actually paying to learn more about trees in order to volunteer. My mother. Our mother. Why forests matter: Relationships and our natural context. Why did my mother matter? We could say she produced a range of products- a daily stream of cooked, canned, and baked goods. Clothes she made on her sewing machin...
