Enlarged my awareness and understanding,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once and Future Forest: A Guide To Forest Restoration Strategies (Hardcover)
If you live in this world you should read this book. It tells you about the environment in a scientific but understandable manner, and suggests ways you can make a difference. Understanding why grass does not hold much water, causing runoff and clogging our rivers with fertilizers, leading to algae growth, will give you a real impetus to plant a tree, shrub or decorative ground cover. You will never look at a large, green lawn with admiration again! This is just the beginning. I recommend this to all my friends.

This review is from: The Once and Future Forest: A Guide To Forest Restoration Strategies (Paperback)
Leslie Sauer and Andropogon Inc. is a known innovator in ecological landscape design, and this book guides the rest of us striving to attain similar achievements. The information she provides speaks to the landscape design industry, but I'd imagine any interested layperson could follow this book without a problem. Her recommendations are based on scientific findings, and she uses experiences in past projects to give advice not only in the technical how-to, but also in the organizational how-to (e.g. how to best deal with a variety of organizations).This book was written in the 1990s, though, so new information may have come about. Sauer helpfully gives links and references to the sources that have helped her most, and that is a resource in and of itself. Thank you, Leslie!

This review is from: The Once and Future Forest: A Guide To Forest Restoration Strategies (Paperback)
Sauer has written a great book focusing on the restoration and management of Eastern forests. She jumps right to the point chapter after chapter making the book packed full of helpful and educational insights. The only real problem that I have with the book is that it is very regional (eastern forests) and not comprehensive in that way. But if your focus is on the Eastern US region then I highly recommend this book. Very eye opening.
