I have a Bachelor of Forestry concentration Wildland Recreation. Currently, I would not recommend pursuing it unless you have excellent contacts and tangible job prospects. Where I live, people basically hate the environment (the Southeast), therefore Forestry, Wildlife, & Fisheries positions are few. Above all wildlife biologist as a degree is a waste of time from what my professors and peers said. Again the lack of jobs and funding. Best of luck. I don't mean to sound negative. Its just the reality of the situation. I continue to plug away each day trying to find a National Parks ranger position, Forester position, environmental education, or something along those lines. Been doing so now for 1.5 years.

start a reforestation organization a tree planting crew urban greening projects to replanting clearcuts and use a percentage pf profits for forrest protection and alternatives to deforestation

i reallly hate to tell u this but
yea the fs does do some protecting of respurces but they concider respourse management as as business selling off respurces while protecting respurces so they can be sold off
some efforts put into protecting the forrest and keeping it healthy as in managing evasive species, protecting endangered ones controlled burns but they also alow clearcuts oil respurces to be tapped hell enen military bombing ranges
the real reason the fs tries to shut down the rainbow gatherings is we see what they allow to happen in the forrest..and we take better care of the forrest then they do.

for instance..ocala fl the ocala national forrest has hundreds of gator pondss..these gator ponds are missile crators
missisipi i think its called damiel booner forrest (maybe wrong) thousands of acres are tank ranges
almost every national forrest is less then 10% old growth
much more has been clear cut and reseeded
theres oil wells pumping stations pipelines storage tanks processing plants u name it
thats why there are tree sitters in the trees protecting the forrests from the forrest service


there is some good they do and i like most of the resourse management folks.. but theyre still government employees who are slaves to the dollars theyre fed.. so your wanting to protect trees one day might have u protecting lumberjacks from the people really trying to protect the trees

its still a nobvle field of study just saying reasearch where u can really do the most good

the woman i got a ride out of the colorado gathering with for instance was responcible for reforresting 3/4 of eceaudor (spelling?) and because she did was given thousands of acres of land

i remember a loctition on myspace advertising natural dreads so i asked her how a locyition can do natural dreads and she said "natural dreads are just dreads made from hair, not synthetic" so i asked how she makes these "natural dreads" she said i braid them with yarn and sythetic hair added to your own hnatural hair then seal it with hair glue they sew the roots and finaly felt wool onto the outside of the dreads
and these are being advertised as natural dreads
this is precisely why i think the meanning must be relatively precise ..meaning little to no effort put into forming them..allowing time to do all the work.


in a way wool rubbing would be naturalish but i dont think most who start by wool rubbing consider them truly natural
(unless the rubbing was the result of scratchin an itch thru a wool hat

Natural is when you do nothing but clean and separate. Animals naturally clean and take care of themselves. Well cleaning is obviously something we want to do with our dreads and separating is a lot like how a cat keeps it's fur laying down. Not against the grain. Neglect is when you do absolutely nothing. The neglect method as described by a lot of people means just neglecting your hair but still keeping it clean but that isn't really the true definition of neglect. I personally don't consider T&R to be completely natural because it involves making your own sections and choosing the size and shape of your baby dreads. That is not natural.
