Hello from Forests for Maine's Future.
In forest news this week:
How many trees are in an area the size of 27 Austrias? And what will happen if Earth loses that much forest?
The coyote: not vermin after all.
Fungus and wasps released to try to control emerald ash borer.
A Pacific Northwest forest study icon to disappear.
World's tropical forests heating up.

These are only a few of the many stories about forests and forest-related issues we've posted on our website. Click here to see the list going back to the first of the year.
Also, what do salamanders, fungi, centipedes, potworms, voles and bacteria have in common? They're all denizens of that immensely complex ecosystem we call the forest soils. Click here for our newest Fresh from the Woods feature, a story on the world beneath your feet.
Check in with us later in the month for our interview with Bernd Heinrich, University of Vermont professor emeritus, one of America's best known nature writers and the owner of 600 acres of forestland in western Maine as he talks about writing, forests, and what makes a good naturalist.
See you in the woods!
