Have you been able to examine any of the ancient methods of teamwork and
forestry methods of the Native Peoples? There was an article in the
NYTimes a few years back about the methods of planting and development
over thousands of years in the forest of the amazon. The method was, I
believe, on a fifteen year cycle and involved the planting of a specific
area around the village and then the village was moved once the order of
planting had completed itself. Just a thought.
