"When you start reading The Woodland Homestead , you'll learn how to think about your woodland not only as an ecosystem but also as an 'ecology of possibilities'." -- from the foreword by Philip Ackerman-Leist "A friendly and informative book about a subject that intimidates many folks new to homesteading. McLeod makes a walk in the woods a whole new world." -- Jenna Woginrich, author of One-Woman Farm , Barnheart , and Chick Days
