By posting on this blog I hope to organize an urban forestry program, in Tempe and for the world.
The Yard will be where we collect forest products from the Tempe Forest.Timbers, fruit, trash.
A precision milling operation and an internet based inventory and design system will allow local architects to build using timbers from the urban forest.
A fuels division will process scrap and trash (branches, twigs) into highly aerated, clean burning fuels for home heating, cooking, kiln firing, electical generation, etc.
Chipping and composting operations will produce ecologically packaged products for gardening and landscaping.
A foodstuffs and materials division will harvest, process, pack, and market agricultural products from local forests.
A home services division will assist homeowners and businesses with planning, architectural innovation, and facilities management tasks. A set of protocols will allow us to manage this process at an unprecedented level of intricacy, required to adapt to an economy in transition from a foundation in resource abundance to a foundation in resource management, with its attendant increase in complexities.
A product development division will bring to market products for resource management: tools for urban forest product extraction and processing, tools for urban habitat retrofitting, tools for waste processing, furnishings, and other goods.
A general forestry division will apply these techniques in the intra-urban forest.
An education division will produce urban forestry media and develop a network of expert urban forestry practioners.
