Quotes by Gabriel Hemery  (?)

“Anyone who has a garden, park or orchard tree has an opportunity to ensure that it offers protection, brings beauty and bears fruit for future generations. In short, every one of us should aspire to be a forester.”
Gabriel Hemery, The New Sylva: A Discourse of Forest and Orchard Trees for the Twenty-First Century

“A verse from a short poem - 'Philosophy is Forestry's Child' - in my Foreword:

Ask not which came first, the acorn or the oak.
We came as children of the forest;
First our wooden cradle, then our kindling for industry.
Instead think forward –– trees will shelter us from ourselves.”
Gabriel Hemery, The Man Who Harvested Trees and Gifted Life
