Social Forestry: Tending the Land as People of Place is a must-have
for anyone wanting to have a reciprocating relationship with their
communities, themselves, and most importantly their awe-inspiring
forests and landscapes. Social Forestry connects villages
and communities to their forests and adjoining bodies of water. It
includes forest management, protection, and regeneration of
deforested lands with the objective of improving the rural,
environmental, and social development. Through ecological
assessment, carbon sequestration, and generating wildcrafts, people
re-establish their wonder in the woods. Author Tomi Hazel Vaarde,
collaborator of Siskiyou Permaculture, uses poetry,Â
photographs, drawings, and data to outline philosophies and
concepts of Social Forestry. By weaving culturally sensitive
stories, myths, and lessons from a range of customs and traditions
including North American Indigenous communities and Vaarde’s own
Quaker upbringing, Vaarde explores how holistic land and community
management approaches can facilitate resolution of some of our most
dire local and global crises. The writer’s work is critical to
overcoming eco-grief while instilling necessary changes to the West
Coast landscape for fire mitigation and restoration of complex
forest systems for generations to come. Many indigenous peoples
have learned regenerative management by living for generations in
and with a sense of place, but few examples of whole-system
planning and participation are evident in modern society. Climate
adaptation, human survival, and conservation efforts to maintain
biodiversity that supports life on Earth require radical,
back-to-the-roots grounding and intentional dedication. Social
Forestry helps readers remember the ways of the wild while
implementing local food production, collaboration with conservation
efforts, forest management, and stabilization of headwaters to
build resilience for the long term. To live in harmony with our
surroundings, we need to re-skill, always remembering those who
came before us and acting in ways that honor traditional wisdom of
people and place.  Social Forestry includes 31
4-color posters and 54 images.
