In the first flush of youth our imaginative faculties are very active. In childhood we rove through Fairyland and play with the little elves; in youth the tiny elves have grown up to be nymphs of our own size and age, and from the summer moonlight we step into the rosy dawn, all fragrant and lightsome, with a glamour over everything which is delicious to our senses. By-and-by, as youth falls from us, we step out from the glades and meadows into the dry and dusty highway of life.” ~ Hume Nisbet

“St. Barbe’s unique capacity to pass on his enthusiasm to others. . . Many foresters all over the world found their vocations as a result of hearing ‘The Man of the Trees’ speak. I certainly did, but his impact has been much wider than that. Through his global lecture tours, St. Barbe has made millions of people aware of the importance of trees and forests to our planet.” Allan Grainger
“We forget that we owe our existence to the presence of Trees. As far as forest cover goes, we have never been in such a vulnerable position as we are today. The only answer is to plant more Trees – to Plant Trees for Our Lives.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker
“Act. Don’t react. See a need, fix it first. Worry about the details later. If you wait until you are asked you have just missed a golden opportunity. They are fleeting and rare.” Philip Wollen founder of Winsome Kindness Trust
“Man must resuscitate his planet with trees, his heart with faith.”~Richard St. Barbe Baker
SW OLRA waymarking sign![IMG_5210[2].jpg](https://stbarbebaker.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/img_52102.jpg?w=482)
Currently, there is one title sign and there are two interpretive or way marking signs at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, both within the area of the SW OLRA. The signs include information about the SW OLRA, and also map of the off leash dog park segment . The reverse side of the sign has a panel where community events may be posted that may only be current for the short term. Notices and warnings appear here which may affect travel within the SW OLRA. Hooks are available for a lost and found area to hang a lost mitten, or dog bootie &c as the case may be. A bin of bags is also supplied to encourage dog owners to pick up after their pets.
