I am in Austria, Steve, and this contact would be very much appreciated. I am aware that there are a lot of fine things happening in France - I was in god exchange with the late Emilia Hazelip - but the language barrier poses a problem, since I know of no one in the Austrian PC scene to speak French, and few frenchmen speak English...

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Georg Parlow

George...there is a young quite brilliant Permaculturist in Eastern France
just a little way SW of Lyon who we have visited on a number of occasions
he has 20 varieties of Chestnut and am sure a good resource for more
knowledge...I'll dig up his contact.

The French network may also have good contact....where are you located ?
Switzerland ?....Steve Hart

According to literature the main species for forest gardens that have
supported whole villages for centuries -both in Sardinia and in
Switzerland- is the chestnut. 7 trees support a family they said (or
was it 7 trees per person? would have to read up on this old research
paper...), having had different varieties for different puropses, some
for fresh eating, some for storage in wet sand in the shade under a
roof, some for drying (and grinding them later to cook a kind of
porridge), some for sweet preserves, some to feed the goats with both
leaves and fruit, and propably some for timber production (and fruits
for goats and swine, I guess). I am afraid we have lost the varieties
a while ago...
