I have a dream.

I lately stumbled upon a privately token-care-of "patch of forest" and it made me dream away for a while.

The owner had cleaned his forest on a way that in a regular pattern, big trees were left standing all over the place at maybe 30 to 50 meter distance intervalls.

It had opened up the whole of the forest floor to light and enabled lots of anuals, perrenials and grasses to flourish well inbetween the large trees.

I could imagine vast areas of it to be token care of this way, enabling various animals of all kinds to inhabit the area while keeping it clean from young trees poking up their heads.

The lower vegetation would add biomass to the area over time, and build up a more fertile layer as that the parasitic, densely grown "industrial" trees could ever achieve.

I saw a bit of paradise in this realisation, and ofcourse the hemp plant was not excluded from this pitoresque imaginary habitat either. ;)

It also made me realise how well all this "token-care-of" land could serve a purpose to create Guerilla Gardens of any kind, including vegetables, fruit trees and berry baring shrubbery by easely fencing them off and adding some dung.

Ah well, maybe some day, when a financial crisis makes us leave no other choise as to investigate in what our land realy has to offer, other then paper pulp, hake and some perverted fun to sporter/hunts men from down south to come and get their annual trophees gained through high tec gadgets, oversized weaponry and armee style mobile equipment ?

Ah, I'll leave it like this, besides, I was just dreaming anyways.
