Forest Quotations

Every student of science, even if he cannot start his journey where his predecessors left off, can at least travel their beaten track more quickly than they could while they were clearing the way: and so before his race is run, he comes to virgin forest and becomes himself a pioneer.

The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures. So the perfect sandwich has to be toasted. It has to have Emmenthal Swiss cheese and a combination of sweet and savory - some cranberry or fig thing happening - with different kinds of meats like Black Forest ham and roast beef.

The Nationals tried hard to recover the lost ground. The final result, however, was the success of the Forest Citys by a score of 29 to 23 in a nine innings game, twice interrupted by rain.

Even as global warming increases the frequency of El Nino and the Atlantic event, their effects are being amplified by the annual loss of an area of rain forest the size of New Jersey. Less rain falls, and the water runs into the rivers instead of being sucked up by the fungus filaments and tree roots.

The road passed through a curtain of pine forest and came out on a flat, rolling snow field. In this field the sprawled or bunched bodies of Germans lay thick, like some dark shapeless vegetable.

You wait until the forest fire is on your front step before you step up.

To experience the northern forest in the raw, I went to northern Finland and Lapland, travelling on horseback, and sleeping on reindeer skins in the traditional open-fronted Finnish laavu. I ate elk heart, reindeer and lingonberries, and tried out spruce resin: the chewing gum of the Stone Age.

Because pandemics almost always begin with the transmission of an animal microbe to a human, it's work that takes me all around the globe - from rain forest hunting camps of central Africa to wild animal markets of east Asia.

There's even an aircraft sensor system that sends down hundreds of thousands of pulses of light measured at different return rates. It allows you to literally strip away vegetation and see entire cities beneath the rain forest canopy. This is the unbelievable future of archaeology.

My goal was always to be working on the biggest stage in the world: Hollywood. Even when I was doing 'The Bill,' I approached the work like it was a Hollywood classic such as 'Training Day' or 'Boyz n the Hood.' So to have worked with some of the greats I've admired, such as Forest Whitaker, Kathy Bates, Cuba Gooding Jr., etc., it warms me.

If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives, we are taking a chance. If we swim in a river where crocodiles live, we are taking a chance. If we visit the desert or climb a mountain or enter a swamp where snakes have managed to survive, we are taking a chance.

We are working with the communities in building institutional relationships with local governments and businesses to create ways to get value from the Amazonian area in order to keep the forest as the forest. This makes sense for us from the perspective of climate change and of poverty.

I live up at about the 2000 feet level on a five acre piece of forest that I built a small house on.

The Humpback Trail on New Zealand's South Island is really beautiful. It is a 70 km walk over about four days and is fairly arduous. You go through prehistoric forest and up to the top of Humpback Mountain, where there are amazing views down to the Tasman Sea.

Growing up during the Depression, I worked for the Forest Service and CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). I tend to work very, very hard. I wouldn't change that for anything.

I can recall, as a young adult, running through the rain forest at the Forest Reserve, at times feeling a sense of fear when I felt I was in danger. In danger of confronting an ugly snake or a coral snake, which represented the greatest fear of someone in a rural area when you traverse the forest.

We start 'The Butler' in June and that's incredibly exciting for me because I get to work with the amazing Forest Whitaker again. It's a phenomenal script and a great, great role - I play his son. Oprah Winfrey is his wife and my mother. My character is a radical civil rights activist.

The Rio de Contas, a wide, almost delta-like river, was startling, a sudden big sky and a feeling of openness, and very bright. It was noisy with birds. The rain forest houses most of the earth's plant and animal population. I hadn't anticipated it would be so loud.

I love fire. As a child I loved setting light to things. I'd always be in the forest putting matches to pieces of wood. I've always regarded fire as my friend.

Global warming is actually a misnomer. It should be global extremes and global swings, because you add - as you add more energy into the atmosphere, it sloshes around. Energy doesn't simply uniformly warm up the planet. And that means droughts in one area, enormous snowstorms in another area, 100-year floods here, 100-year forest fires there.

We are pleased with the court order and believe this validates the good work the Flathead National Forest is doing, ... The folks on the forest work hard to manage healthy forest resources within the sideboards of numerous laws and regulations.

When you talk about all of these things and weave them together, for the first time, conservationists have something in which they can see the forest for the trees. It screams that it needs our attention.

We're not going to see new investment in Ontario's forest sector as long as Ontario has the highest electricity rates in North America (and) as long as Ontario has the highest wood costs in North America,

Until such time as the Forest Service selects a remedy or remedies for the site and costs are more definite, it is premature for the parties to enter into mediation.

What we're looking at used to be a huge forest, like you see across the way. The forest is completely wiped out. Hundred year old trees that were in here are gone. It took everything, it just took everything.

We let the dogs hit the debris piles first to see if they had any interest. The amazing thing was to see the amount of destruction. Where before (the breach) there was heavy forest it looked like someone took a stream of water and blasted everything off those rocks. It looked strip-mined.

Wake Forest is honored to once again host the NCAA Championships. I believe our staff at Wake Forest puts on a first class presentation that all four teams will enjoy.

With this new technology, we are able to detect openings in the forest canopy down to just one or two individual trees. People have been monitoring large-scale deforestation in the Amazon with satellites for more than two decades, but selective logging has been mostly invisible until now.

We're seeing some of the effects already - massive forest die-offs, outbreaks of severe forest fires. Whatever affects the watershed is potentially devastating.

We have new folks moving in who don't understand the proper etiquette for being a good neighbor to the fish. People move to the forest and then cut down the trees around their lot so they can have more sunlight.

We also worked on the church property taming a forest of uprooted trees. Huge trees -- 20 feet tall -- had been snapped off and just the trunks were sitting there. We went in with a Bobcat and chain saws to clear up the church's wooded property.

We've seen several proposals to try and build in the central and South Forest Beach area. We thought the strand blocks and the covenants already offered protections. ... This most recent one brought it to a head.

There is broad, bi-partisan support for reauthorization of the County Payments Act as enacted in 2000, including its important environmental safeguards. There are better ways to fund public education for our children than selling off our public forests. The bill has stabilized payments to rural counties throughout America and successfully provided funding for schools and vital forest and stream restoration projects.

We have an urban forest that a lot of cities would love to have, but don't, because their cities are already built out.

We've taken our timely raw-material timber-pricing data to the next level, which will ultimately help our customers make better business decisions. We're the only company in the forest and wood-products industry that has been able to collect this level of raw-material data. We believe it will revolutionize timber-price forecasting and planning.

Top" management is supposed to be a tree full of owls-hooting when management heads into the wrong part of the forest. I'm still unpersuaded they even know where the forest is.

We need to look at what's happening to those non-industrial lands and what can be done so they don't keep moving out of forest management and keep dividing into smaller to smaller developed plots.

When we settled our country, the dark forest was considered in some ways evil and something that you needed to plow or, later, bulldoze. We now have a new understanding of the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the need for bird flyways and why all species matter.

The plan was to hold them down as long as we could. Forest is such an explosive team and I think we played them very tough. I was quite proud of my team, they gave a real spirited performance.

There are two issues here. The heart of the settlement is the $14-21 million the city has agreed to pay to stop future problems along the highway. There's an additional $300,000 expenditure in the settlement to clean up areas already harmed by the sediment drainage. We think the Forest Service should help cover these costs.

We're showing so much green, ... Everything from emerald green to puce, to chartreuse, to a real sort of hunter and forest and dark greens that we haven't seen in a long time.

Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe National Forest told your agency not to set the fire, ... I'd like to know why they went ahead and did it.

Soil scientists predicted this improvement more than a decade ago, ... and it has shown us that following sound science will benefit the health of the forest ecosystems in the long run.

She was patrolling the forest enforcing the no-fire ban. She got out of her government vehicle with the purpose or the intent of starting a fire.

She's doing well with her goals. She wants to go to Pacific University next year in Forest Grove and wrestle on its all-female wrestling team. She works hard. She's working hard so she can keep her goals. She's definitely improved over the years.

Some customers will put out the brush fire but miss the forest fire. Customers need to think about how to get the data off an archive when the technology is no longer any good and onto new stuff without too much pain.

Silence on a hill where the path endedand then the forest belowmoving in one long whisperas evening touched the leaves.

Silence on a hill where the path ended and then the forest below moving in one long whisper as evening touched the leaves.

One priority is if the private land is adjacent to forest land, near where a fire occurred. That's where the beetles will be coming from.

One suggestion that did not pan out was the Forest Service's love affair with Slash Pine. We planted 20 acres. From what they tell me, we ended up with the best stand that they had ever seen.

One of our roles at the Forestry Commission is to provide Georgia landowners with high-quality, accurate and timely timber price information. Georgia has 24.3 million acres of forestland available for commercial use and timber is the highest valued vegetative crop in the state. Since timber prices vary across the state, Forest2Market had divided Georgia into three primary timber pricing regions. Forest2Market's report will serve as a valuable tool to help Georgia's Forest Products Industry compete in the global market. We are pleased to provide a timber market report specific to Georgia.

My affinity for trees as a material seems to come from a childhood spent wandering the forest around Southern Pines - a place with thick underbrush and many intersecting lines evident in the bare winter branches of trees.

More than 90 percent of the forest fires are provoked, either through negligence or by intention,

Now the Forest Service and BLM must stop avoiding their legal responsibilities and get to work implementing the Forest Plan, so at least minimal protections are in place for ancient forests, salmon, wildlife and clean drinking water.

No community deserves to be left at risk of wildfire. The Forest Service should focus its people and resources on Community Protection Zones, not let them be diverted to low-priority backcountry projects.

Nothing beats a haunted moonlit night on All hallows Eve... And on this fatal night, at this witching time, the starless sky laments black and unmoving. The somber hues of an ominous, dark forest are suddenly illuminated under the emerging face of the full moon.

On principle, I am not opposed to selling U.S. Forest Service parcels, but I am troubled by the idea of doing it to fill a budgetary need.

One of the objectives of the Forest Service was to get (the bridge) on the ground so other people could look at it and possibly build one.

I was serving as the area representative to the Forest Park Civic Association before I had even moved into my house. One of the people I had contacted in the area to ask some questions when I was buying my house told me about the opportunity to be the area representative and I decided to do it.

If we get into a drying trend for the next 20 to 22 days, I would guess that there is probably a 70 percent chance the forest will be at least partially closed by June.

If this provision became law, it could literally lead to the privatization of millions of acres of public land, including national park and national forest land.

I have come to the borders of sleep,/ The unfathomable deep/ Forest where all must lose/ Their way.

I don't know that increasing population or increasing recreation in the national forest has anything to do with it. There is just not a clear link.

I am excited to be part of the Forest City/Harrah's team. I've lived and played in this community for years and I believe these two companies bring the expertise and strengths that Pittsburgh needs to make gaming successful. This partnership will help Pittsburgh and our communities continue to grow and improve. If the gaming commission selects Forest City and Harrah's, I am honored to be the President of the foundation and serve our City.

I am a very superstitious person, so I don't like to think about it. Teams can score in the last second like Lake Forest did against us this year. Mentally, I just try to stay strong.

Burns at night are currently not something allowed in AQMD regulations. We understand the risks of wildfires, and we're taking a close look at what we can do to offer some flexibility to the Forest Service.

Building a forest with financial support from Guangdong will improve the ecological environment along the river's upper reaches and it should become an effective way in the long term to fight against salt tides.

BC is a very diversified economy, with strength in the high-tech industries, expanding natural gas and base metal sectors and booming non-residential construction. However, slowing exports in the province's key forest products sector will likely hold back gains in employment and vehicle sales in 2006.

Because such equivalence sets can contain other patterns in turn containing further patterns, and so on the resulting body of knowledge grows recursively, as a sort of forest of branching trees of possibilities.

Because such equivalence sets can contain other patterns -- in turn containing further patterns, and so on -- the resulting body of knowledge grows recursively, as a sort of forest of branching trees of possibilities.

I have a dream that in the not-too-distant future, Visy Tumut will spend around $100 m to expand our clean energy generation here and take in additional waste forest wood to generate clean renewable energy and sell it into the power grid.

If one thinks of the world as though it were a vast forest, if there is a spark in the forest and you are there to see it, you are able to simply snuff it out,

For us this is a danger that could change the nature of our student body and exclude, for financial reasons, an increasing number of students who really want a Wake Forest education.

For too long Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex brand tissue products, has told us that it uses no recycled content in its tissue products because of consumer preference and demand. Well, the data are in and as we've been saying since the launch of this campaign, consumers do not want to have Canada?s Boreal forest destroyed for the production of disposal products. It's time for Kimberly Clark to listen to consumers and drastically change the recycled content in its disposable paper products.

Given the tiny amount of good quality tropical forest remaining on Mauritius, this development can only be viewed as catastrophic to the native biodiversity,

I go for long walks in Newlands Forest in Cape Town, and I go to the Turkish baths on Sunday mornings.

If we wish to preserve the diversity of natural ecosystem processes, we must preserve the larger ecosystems where the longest food chains are found, ... As ecosystem size decreases (e.g., through the fragmentation of forest patches), we may see the loss of large, often rare, top predators. Those top predators that can survive in smaller ecosystems will likely feed lower in the food chain, which may alter the feeding relations and community structure through out the food web.

If the cell were a forest, we can now pull out individual trees to study them. We are using virtual reality approaches as they are being developed for the computer gaming industry. Nonetheless, what we eventually want to do is to be able to walk into the forest and explore it in that way.

He has a knack of going into troubled situations and being able to see through the forest and see where the opportunity is. A lot of people can figure it out and then they're afraid to pull the trigger. If you go back over Jerry's career, it's very obvious he had no trouble pulling the trigger.

The people were really wonderful. They helped each other. We passed places where there was a forest on one side of the road. Our route took us where there had been small homes and multi-million dollar homes.

We've got to win at Green Forest on Thursday and then we'll have our hands full with Gentry.

With more than $1 billion of proposed investment, Forest City and Harrah's have the strongest and most comprehensive development plan and the potential for the most tax revenues.

We are extremely pleased that we have completed the exchange with the Forest Service for the five-acre Federal parcel. It allows us to proceed to the next steps in the Front Door project.

He's going to be a great foil for the guys on our show. Forest has always impressed me with his range. He's got an incredible sweetness and soulfulness but also strength. It's a rare combination for an actor and that appealed to me with this character.

The rain forest has spent a lot of money and done extensive research on Johnson County and the Corridor. If you were not going to upset the whole flow of your deal, you choose somewhere nearby.

Human society minus God is equal to a forest of brutes.

He is trying to get the Forest Service and the tribe to reach an agreement. He appreciates what the tribe is trying to do.

I talked with the coach (Clay Norton) at Forest Hill and several people from there called me, but they never did say (Sidney) was there. There had been some interest about him going there, but we never did hear anything more about it.

I think in (Wake Forest game) you saw the vulnerability some times. We've got to stay healthy is what it comes down to.

I think Intel is still very good. It's done very well, but it is still a very, very strong story, ... I think Bank One is a very strong recovery story in the financial area. That usually does well as we see an economic recovery. Weyerhaeuser is in the forest products industry. A great secular story there in the next five to 10 years as home building picks up with the baby boomers getting older and the baby busters are getting bigger.

I think it's an excellent deal for the city of North Adams, ... It relieves the city of taxes, allows us to boost up our reserves, which have been beaten up over recent years, and allows us to retain our water rights. I'm very confident that the watershed, being in the hands of the Forest Service, will be protected indefinitely.

It could help the country, it could help the farmers, it could help the taxi drivers and so on. We have to do something. This is a crisis. It touches a lot of people, especially the forest people,

It is clear that China is in the middle of a global commodity chain, feeding consumption by consumers in the U.S. and EU who are demanding low priced forest products. There are key roles for consumer countries to play in transforming this trade into one that benefits forests and people.

I think we were too juiced. But our attitude was great and we knew Lake Forest would not quit, even after we had built the kind of lead we had.

It is one thing to hear about the forest and the river, but an entirely other experience to go there, to see the environment, and to appreciate the natural riches there first-hand.

Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...
