Thomas M. Bonnicksen is Professor of Forest Restoration and Environmental Decision-making at Texas A & M University and the author of America's Ancient Forests: From the Ice Age To The Age of Discovery. The efforts of many forest owners in Alabama involve restoring forests on our land. We practice our art on old peanut fields, "old-field" pine stands, and high-graded hardwood stands. In Ancient Forests, Bonnicksen presents "information for forest restoration and conservation projects, and presents an account of how the North American landscape has evolved." In November, Dr. Bonnicksen will open a web page on restoration forestry at http://oldforest.tamu.edu.
