Our Native Forests Teach Us Food Forest Design (What I Learned in The Siuslaw Nat’l Forest)

If we want to design more resilient, self-sustaining food forests and permaculture systems, what can our own native forests teach us about abundance and resilience?

Today we're hiking in the Siuslaw National Forest, and I'm gleaning what I can from this awesome ecosystem so I can improve my little food forest design back at home.

One big observation: thriving forests are full of dead trees. Let's dig a little deeper into the lesson, there.
