Sincerest thanks go first to Andy Anderson, whose endless patience made the quirks of technology bearable, and its beauty all the more enjoyable, and who drove us many times to the Quabbin.
Thanks also to the other members of ATS who dedicated their time and energy to teaching and providing logistical support to the course. Personnel and Foresters of the DCR at the Quabbin were also very helpful in acquiring data and learning about the salient issues of the region.
