<<<<is permaculture/food forest adverse to cutting trees at all, or is it
permissable to clear some for letting sunlight reach crops, or just what
exactly
does the principles of "food forestry" consider to be permaculture? I live
in a
very forested area and I have been clearing small plots and building
gardens. >>>>
I once read the transcipt of an interview with Bill Mollison where he said
that after he came up with the idea of permaculture he never had to cut down
a tree. Amazing - not having to cut down any trees. I spent a few hours
with some local permaculturists a few months ago helping one of them make a
fire-break/terrace on a contour, and we certainly cut down a lot of small
trees. I felt a little guilty about this when I got home.
