The nursery

Wednesday, we will start working on the nursery: We will weed the pots the trees are kept in.
Then, Sunday they will be moved to a new location.
Until Sunday, the location has to slightly be fixed.
It is on private property and I had to choose, which area on the property we'd use.
I picked the area with the most shade and least inconvenience for the land-owner.
Hope, it suits an unknown number and type of species...

Today, I heard an interesting story about a traveller entering a town at night. He found a place to stay and as he was about to settle for the night, the town's wise people walk in.
They tell him, when he's leaving the next day, he will pass a stream. And he should fill his pockets with the rocks from that stream, for as the next night, he will be both happy and sad.
So, next day, he does as he's told.
As he empties his pocket the enxt night, he wonders how stupid he only could be filling his pockets with useless rocks. As he pulls his hand out of his pocket, he finds rubies, diamonds and all sorts of precious gems.
So, as the wise men said, he was both happy and sad. The reason is obvious.

Also, I heard a lecture on being prepared, today.
The lecturer stressed a certain urgency, but my question still remains: with that urgency, do I need to panic or worry? My answer to that question is: if I'm prepared, I shouldn't fear.
But then, does that preparation mean "just for that moment or test to barely pass"?
Or should the preparation be more longer lasting? Meaning over a longer period of time? And if it took longer to prepare for something, does that mean I'm more convinced about the reason or cause?
Again, sustainability is key;
The German forestry industry takes great pride in thinking, they invented sustainability 300 years ago.
The Irish still use the mantra "Reduce, reuse, recycle". Which is fine, as a start. But reducing doesn't help one bit, unless you take only as much as nature is able to reproduce.
Next week, I think I should develop a scheme or plan to help local land-owners to understand the concept of selective harvesting and the concept of trees for the futrure paired with a change in tree species utilized.
I'm thinking about the traditional oak on clear-felling areas paired with maybe birch and ash.  
Ash, I hear has a high value as veneer and birch is so generous with light penetrating the canopy, it might be good as secondary plant as first harvest befor the oak. 
Thus, we would be generating a steady flow of money over many years instead of one big flow every 80 to 100 years.
It's definitely more than just a 1 stone-2 birds scenario. You would kill about 5 birds...
