Ecological and Human Functional Landscapes

I guess I would see it as a functional landscape where the forest continues on its succession pathway providing the necessary ecological functions to allow flora and flauna to flourish.  I also see a working landscape where humans can utilize this landscape in a variety of ways that works to conserve the balance between human utilization and nature.

The average person on the street has a more mindful and accurate relationship with the forest -- they recognize what they need and get from the forest, but also that they can get out in the forest, enjoy it, even take products out of it without necessarily hurting or ruining the forest.

This quote by Mary Byrd Davis really speaks to my vision:

"We are between two forested worlds–the natural forest of pre-[European] settlement North America and the recovered forest of the future… The earlier forested world is not dead. We are studying and struggling to preserve its living remnants. And we do not believe that the future forest is powerless to be born. These remnants–with our help–will become the seeds from which a renewed forest spreads."

Ecological connectivity that allows for species to migrate with climate change and maintain their natural processes. Functional connectivity that ensures ecosystem health on both sides of the border to support small-scale, sustainable traditional uses and natural resource management that stays in families and communities for generations.
