My old boss, Fred Rossbach, likes to quip - "Hey Mary's been 'logging' way before anyone was blogging!" I started the column "The Forester's Log" in the late 1980's. I've been writing about forestry ever since. Each month I pen a new column, but also much of the last 25 years of words is now available in the new book (UNM Press - March 2009):

THE BOOK:
The Forester's Log: Musings from the Woods
by Mary Stuever
Over the last quarter century, Mary Stuever captured stories from her work as a forester in the American Southwest in her monthly column, “The Forester’s Log”. Gathered here together, these tales spin a web of words that explain why forest fires are larger, why trees are being cut from forests, why kids need to spend times outdoors, why catastrophic burn areas need planted and protected, and why people and land share an incredible bond that should be nurtured and honored.
Mary Stuever works as a forester in New Mexico and writes a monthly column, “The Forester’s Log”. For immediate access to the column, please send Mary an email to get on the distribution list. Columns are posted here after other publications have the opportunity to run the syndicated column.
INTERVIEWS:
I had a nice long (about an hour) radio interview on the Santa Fe Radio Cafe (KSFR radio) with Mary-Charlotte...
http://www.santaferadiocafe.org/podcasts/?m=201003 yep, I was amazed at the "really, good questions" Mary-Charlotte asked, but didn't realize I was being redundant...still if you have an hour, here is lots of good information about the forests of the Southwest. The interview is archived for March 30, 2010.

What others are saying about The Forester’s Log (also see REVIEWS):
Most of the book comments are on the reviews page, but I'll rotate a few through here.... "Anyone who’s ever walked among towering ponderosas, worried about dying piñons, watched racing flames on a mountainside, or marveled at new growth sprouting from burned ground will love this book. Southwestern forests have found a compelling voice.” —Mary Beath, author of Hiking Alone, Trails Ho
Are you a forester who writes? I am interested in working on an anthology project; for an update see The Forester's Log Deck
