I have been waiting a long time for this book. And it's even more beautiful and useful than I ever imagined. Within this crucial, revolutionary volume can be found many trails through wild forest, all leading to a grander future. A problem as vast and appalling as clear-cutting needs a brilliant solution, and here it is, from the forester who perfected it. Leon Neel has been my hero since I heard about him, and now Sutter and Way have my deepest gratitude. I call landowners and timber managers everywhere, and anyone else who cares about a piece of land, to read this book. This is not an oxymoron--you can cut a forest and, at the same time, save it too!--Janisse Ray author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood

Leon Neel's approach to management of longleaf pine forests has become an exemplar for sustainable forestry and ecosystem restoration. Here, from Leon's own words, we understand not only the fundamentals of his approach but also the inspiration and passion that motivate it. This is an important book on both counts. --Norman L. Christensen, Professor and Founding Dean, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment<p>
