Forest Quotations | Page 3

The thing about Forest is that when you attack one play they still have a whole slew of players to go to. It is going to be a challenge.

Sometimes we get lost in seeing the entire forest for the particular trees, but I think we need to pull back and see that this threat of radical terrorists is now being directed not only at us in the homeland, but it is being directed at a source of energy upon which the western industrialized world has become dependent.

Seeing Forest Brook play, we realized we needed to beat their press. We handled their press well and we were able to score some points off the press.

(Salazar) came out opposing the project, and he's been calling the Forest Service and getting information on it since late 2005.

Quite frankly, the community has lost confidence in the commissioners' ability to support the Black Forest Preservation Plan, ... I think it's time to incorporate.

Rather than go through such a pointlessly repetitive exercise, the court ruled that the chief of the Forest Service properly adopted the broad moratorium through an agency-wide rule,

Rainwater cannot not be effectively stored as a result of the worsening ecological system, thus it is urgent to build a forest that will help store rainwater.

Normally we'd applaud their going around Forest Preserve with utility lines, but after looking at the damage this would cause ecologically, it seems like the poorer choice.

Normally, March and April are the worst months for forest fires in these parts of the state. That's when we start getting warmer temperatures, more days with low humidity and high winds.

The ones who are in favor of the nomination live near the 50 acres of forest we want to preserve. The majority of people who are opposed to it say they think this type of mid-rise condos is out of keeping with the rest of the development in the area.

A couple of (state senators) have concerns that we're overly influenced by the forest industry, and that (that influence) causes us to do work that has findings in their favor.

One could argue that at least half of the forest has never been seen before.

The moose are gone, and their bones lie under the sand in the soft coal which was the forest by the estuary, thousands of years ago.

Any step in the right direction is certainly positive, ... Certainly, we'd have liked to have seen more, but with the understanding the Forest Service has made a move in a positive direction, we just hope we can continue to move in that direction.

Any new road has to be beneficial to the forest ecosystem rather than providing access to a stand of forest to be cut. The other values of the forest must balance against the quest to log all areas.

(As currently drafted) the Kyoto Protocol could actually accelerate forest destruction by giving incentives to plant large-scale plantations on formerly native forest land,

That shows what the papers know. Oak Forest was rated higher than we were. That shows we're underrated.

Alien worms brought in by the fishing industry are eating all the leaf matter. They advance right through and eat things up. You take that away, and the whole forest changes.

You've really got to tip your hat to Forest - they probably swing the bat as well as anybody I've seen in several years. We made some big plays early on . . . but (Forest) made all the defensive plays and put the ball in play. (For us) it's back to the drawing board.

You sometimes lost track of what the long-term view of Arrowhead would look like. When you're in the middle of the forest chopping trees down, it's hard to get a perspective of what the whole forest looks like. It's succeeded beyond, certainly, my expectations.

You need to know what you have and what the land will support, keeping your future forest in mind. You need to ensure that you have enough seedling coming on to give you mature trees in the future.

This is by far the most athletic team we've seen this year. Pisgah's a good team and they have as much size as Forest Hills, but they're not nearly as athletic.

This is different because it has been so dry, and the Forest Service and the county and other firefighters believe that there is a greater potential for a wildfire in the area this summer.

This is a pretty major offensive to rewrite national forest management laws on behalf of the timber industry.

This is a terrific opportunity to shine a spotlight on important issues surrounding Black Hills National Forest, including forest health and wildfire prevention. Ensuring appropriate forest policy is essential not only to preserving South Dakota's wonderful natural resources, but to our tourism and economy as well.

This is not an issue of public forest management. It's an issue of private and state management. This is a critical distinction in terms of how the problem will be solved in the South and how it has been dealt with in the West.

The whole ecological system in the forest here is very much imbalance.

This group is rich in talent and personality. They embody the spirit of Wake Forest field hockey and I look forward to their contributions as student-athletes. I have faith in their ability to keep up the strong tradition of Wake Forest hockey.

This certainly speaks to the success of our program to have Wake Forest select their coach from Kent State.

This area is gentrifying fast. New people are moving in who think they want to live in the forest until they live in the forest. Then they want to cut down all the trees because they can't see the sun.

They were eagerly awaiting the decision. We're not giving up. The project was stopped on time. Part of the problem is the Forest Service hadn't conducted the proper NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) requirements. We're leaving about five people out there. We had literally tons of equipment in there. That stuff's coming back out. It is just a logistical decision. Otherwise it would all have to be in there for a week.

This is a forest ecosystem that has lived with very frequent fire. The ecosystem here has developed and is dependent on that. There is no ecosystem replacement for it.

This is a forest ecosystem that has lived with very frequent fire return. The ecosystem here has developed and is dependent on that. There is no ecosystem replacement for it.

Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake.

They obviously like to have wood fiber at a reasonable rate to build theirhomes, to achieve their dreams in terms of housing. But they also like themultiple use of the Forest Service.

This (ORV use) has become a problem over the last decade or two. Most Forest Service plans were made 15 years ago when four-wheelers and ATVs were virtually nonexistent. Not many were used and snow machines were relegated to groomed trails.

There's beginning to be some traction. If you use the metaphor of the forest at night, there's a lot of small animals rustling around in the leaves.

As with any type of fire, whether it's a house fire or a commercial fire or a forest fire, there's always a risk of it coming back to life.

It's a beautiful forest, very unique. We need more places like this, not less. Maybe if we manage the rest of the forest to develop future old growth, we can cut these trees in 150 or 200 years. But not now.

It was really a very moving ceremony and did a whole lot in terms of relations between the tribe and the forest service.

It's a victory that extends way beyond the borders of the Bitterroot Forest. It ensures the public will have meaningful input on Forest Service projects across the country.

It is unfortunate that the letter to Science magazine received widespread media attention. The letter was a request by nine university and forest science scientists, who are familiar with the subject area and geographic area, to clarify and strengthen a paper that had obviously inadequate peer review by Science magazine before it became part of the scientific record.

It's a great opportunity for us. We certainly appreciate all of the cooperation that we have received from everyone to bring this opportunity to this point. The staffs at both Wake Forest and the Greensboro Coliseum have been extremely helpful.

I told the kids at the half that River Forest wanted the game more than we did and that we had to go back out there and take it away from them.

Forest Service resources need to be concentrated on the most critical acres and communities at risk across the regions.

Forest Park is one of the top teams in the region. We knew going in that they have quality players. They have a specific pattern they play. We asked our guys to do a few things, but they didn't execute the way I wish they had, but even so I am not disappointed with the effort.

Forest Park is big and pretty good, but they always are. They need to have a football program.

Forest Park doesn't make a lot of mistakes and our kids were pretty tired. We had played matches three straight days and we couldn't get a lot of fire out of the kids. This was also the first full week of school. I think they are ready for a weekend break.

Forest Lawn, in addition to being an innovator and a model for memorial-parks around the world, is an icon that reflects the evolution of culture, society, politics, and business in Los Angeles and Southern California over the past 100 years. Throughout 2006, we will celebrate life in Southern California by hosting a range of community events and exhibits that chronicle not only our history, but changes in our community.

Forest conversion is the root cause of the conflict between people and animals, whether it is elephants raiding fields or tigers attacking livestock.

Forest City by nature and by history is not a condo developer. We're looking for cash flow because we're a public company, but we also like to own properties for a long time. The idea was that we were going to build the first new loft building. There will always be people who want to rent and people who want to buy.

For decades, this agency has invoked the phrase 'Forest Service family' to connote a cohesive, close-knit organization, but this plan puts whole branches of the family on the auction block. This whole misguided effort is an example of mindless management by slogan lacking in any analysis as to how to make the Forest Service actually run better or more efficiently.

It's the Grinch who stole Christmas, ... In a petty move, the Bush administration has banned minor activities such as Christmas tree harvesting and mushroom picking to express their opposition to a judge's ruling. The action is particularly ill-timed considering the short harvest season for mushrooms and Christmas trees. Precedent clearly shows that these kind of activities are not subject to administrative appeals. The Forest Service should rescind this punitive order and allow people who rely on these activities for their livelihood to pay the bills and put food on the table.

It's good to have bragging rights when I come home. I said earlier that we'd beat Wake Forest this year and we did, and it's another good win for us on the road.

It shows how good the youth systems and coaching have been at Forest and West Ham because Martin Jol has taken me, Jermaine Jenas and Andy Reid from Forest and also has Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick, who came from West Ham,

David gives us guidance. We had a clear-cut 10 years ago. We had nine bids from $60,000 to almost $200,000. If we had just gone in the middle, say $100,000, you see how much money we would have lost. I wouldn't think about making a timber sale without a forester. I would say that's the biggest benefit. You get good, free advice from the North Carolina Forest Service, too.

Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land.

Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black,Cutting through the forest with a golden track.

That's a critical area for us because of the potential to have large forest fires, much like you'd see on the West Coast.

The board members will now weigh all of this and decide. But I can tell you that since the state and the Forest Service and the counties have agreed, I would be very surprised if they were not approved.

...the books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of a person we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation--a book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us.

The best thing is the surroundings. You're in the middle of the forest and you have a river flowing next to the hot springs.

It's clear that there will always be roads in national forests. But it is a welcome change that the forest service has put the brakes on what has been a massive road-building system. Any new road building will have to meet rigorous testing and that's a positive change.

It's an amazing experience to be able to sit with them (the gorillas). It's a beautiful forest and the people that ran it were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable.

It looked like a corner kick practice for Forest Lake out there.

NOLS also helped because they have such incredibly intimate knowledge about that part of the forest -- perhaps better than the agency itself.

It usually comes down to the mental attitude of your players. They have to be just as focused against Wake Forest as they were last week against Syracuse, or Boston College (Sept. 17). Because you know they're (Deacons) going to be focused.

It worked OK. It's just something I felt pretty strongly about during the bus ride back. We looked like we were running in mud sometimes at Wake Forest and not generating the kind of pressure that we need. I don't know if it's the right answer, honestly. I think the right answer is just (to) get better at rushing four.

They believe in what they're doing. You can tell by reading articles over the summer and during camp that they're very confident in the new staff and the new schemes. And it obviously helped their confidence when they beat Duke and then battled back against Wake Forest on the road.

They can't see the forest for the trees. They get hung up on looking at the individual tree being cut, and can't see the benefit of the landscape as a whole.

They are isolated, expensive to manage, and no longer necessary to meet the needs of U.S. Forest Service goals.

They were sitting in the forest when we saw them, and they just ran to us, without saying anything,

These trees are using their root system to redistribute water into different soil compartments. This allows the trees and the forest to sustain water use throughout the dry season.

This is just one example of illegal activities that are destroying the Amazon. This rainforest is a global treasure that stabilizes the climate and is home to most land life on the planet and to millions of people. It's taken thousands of years to grow and once it's destroyed it's gone forever. Unless laws against these sorts of forest crime are rigorously and urgently enforced to protect the rainforest and its people, we'll have a biological catastrophe on our hands.

On a regular basis, I conduct work in the Amazon, establishing trade for medicinal plants, and working with small communities to improve their economies and to help protect forest acreage.

The new format of our yearling sale was the first major change introduced this year to SCs sales, ... Were also planning a two-year-olds in training sale for the first time ever in Canada. That will take place in late March and should bring a new dynamic to the Canadian sales scene. Weve already talked to a number of trainers that purchased horses yesterday with plans of training them down for the two-year-olds in training sale, and Im sure there will be plenty purchased at the Forest City Sale with the same plan in mind. Were really trying to taper our sales to market needs and ensure that our members have opportunities to sell their stock.

After that, I'll know everything. To be completely honest with you, I know about Tennessee because they talk about them all the time, I know about UNC because we play them all the time. Other than that -- we just played Wake Forest and I knew they liked to shoot a lot, but other than that, not much.

It's redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains saving this land has been our charter for over 100 years.

Every tournament I train the same. No matter if it's Wimbledon, the US Open, or Forest Hills you train the same.

I'm extremely pleased that the process has come to this point. We thank the Forest Service for the opportunity to have access to our property as required by federal law.

I'm a birder. I've been using that as an excuse to go wandering around the world. I stand in the forest looking like I'm doing something, but I'm really doing nothing.

I love white pines, and they can be in my yard. But I like their plan for the reason that this state forest is so unique globally. In effect every area of white pine in the state forest is not being devoted to what is ours to contribute to the biodiversity of the rest of the world.

In forest products, we're still cautious given the softness in the pulp and paper market and the strength of the Canadian dollar.

I kind of saw it coming after the Wake Forest game. I knew a change had to be made, so I was kind of prepared for it.

I'm very proud of what they did last Friday (in a 40-32 win over Forest Park) and this Friday. We're making some strides. Now we've got to try to get ready for Potomac.

I never hit a game-winner before. I can remember my junior year when I missed a game-winner at Wake Forest , but I'd never made a game-winner.

I'm very excited with the quality of the non-conference teams we have on our schedule, ... To play at Mississippi State and to host Creighton, to potentially face Wake Forest on their floor, those are the types of games that should help prepare our team for the rigors of conference play.

If you get a bad fire season and you end up borrowing money from the other programs ... it just really throws any logical management of the forest into a tailspin, and that's why Congress created that $500 million.

If you damage a forest a little bit, the forest can recover. Even damaged ecosystems can be restored to their former diversity through natural processes if they are allowed to do so.

If you've ever walked a mile into a virgin forest - you know, like a deep forest where trees have been uncut - the energy is totally different from the shopping mall.

In the forest scene we had put a mike up a tree to capture the ambient sound... it is like reinventing movie-making, don't you see?

In the corrupt court there is no possibility to dream or to make contact to love. They are exiled to the forest as a punishment (but) this punishment turns out to be a gift. The gift of being in a place where there is no time.

In the Hoosier National Forest and across much of southern Indiana, we had nearly a total mast (acorn) failure in 2004.

Instead of having a forest of dead pine trees, we're going to have a forest of very healthy trees that will last well beyond our lifetimes.

In recent years the Forest Service and land management agencies have been burning about 2 to 2 1/2 million acres a year with prescribed fires,

If you tie it into action by the forest preserve, you might as well just not do it,

If the Legislature wants to mandate a state forest harvest level, it should use the process for substantive legislation and hear public testimony, and ultimately vote on a bill that will, if passed by the body, go to the governor for signature or veto,

Clandestine labs are like forest fires cropping up all over the state. When you have something that's big and contained, at least you can fight it in the same way you always have.

Because of my poor writing posture, I started walking in the forest every day, and I found it a potent place to be creatively. It changed me in that it was a new way of doing my creative process, and I realised how much I liked being among tall trees.
