Abstract
An Aspen Community: Roots, on Roots, on Roots
Paul C. Rogers, Director, Western Aspen Alliance; Dept. of Environment & Society; Ecology Center; Utah State University
In a flicker of foliage, a glimmer of light, time passes and a career senesces. Dappled highlights alongside stochastic frustrations, bureaucratic pathologies, and unforeseen opportunities tremble across the forest floor of one’s vocation. We call that an occupation, but it could be seen as a succession of disturbances, recoveries, and, well, growth. I have been fortunate to spend the bulk of my career focused on the aspen sciences and spending time with many of you, collectively unraveling some of the messy restoration issues in these charismatic landscapes. Under the canopy of the Western Aspen Alliance we have made some strides, but there is much more to accomplish.
