Our Favourite Links
A word about 'our favourite links'.
The links page is of a somewhat 'eclectic' nature because it contains subjects that are not necessarily tree related. The links lead you to people who crossed our path, with whom we work or worked in the past or we were impressed with what is on offer in the linked website. At any rate the people behind the other websites have all one thing in common: passion for what they do. They deserve to be highlighted. If you have any other suggestions for links to be added, please write to us by using our contact form.

Futurity Inc. - Chicago
I welcome Futurity Incorporated, a Landscape, Design and Plant Inventory company that provides professional services for private individuals, corporations and local authorities.
The company is managed and owned by David Bier.
David is one of those persons who followed his deep
love for plants and made it his career.
The result is an outstanding professional approach to his design services that at the same time is infused with his passion for nature, resulting in final landscape designs where people feel immediately at home.
Landscape design work is a complicated process and in order 'to do it right' it is essential that one knows what one has to work with. And to know what you have, it needs to be preceded by inventory work.
Inventory work means that one has to have systems at hand that easily can be computerized and collect data that can be sliced and diced in aid of management programs and or new design plans.
The inventory software has its roots in SiteToolbox - a simple, easy to understand inventory software system that has its application in tree, plant, wetland and even regional land management.

The Nature Institute
Visit my friends at the Nature Institute in Ghent New York USA, a wonderful place with the most interesting courses that further holistic science.
This is their Mission:
"Nature around us is whole and interconnected. Though we are part of nature, we do not yet fathom her depths, and our actions do not embody her wisdom. A fundamental shift in our way of viewing the world is necessary if we would contribute to nature's unity rather than dissolution. At The Nature Institute, we develop new qualitative and holistic approaches to seeing and understanding nature and technology. Through research, publications, and educational programs we work to create a new paradigm that embraces nature's wisdom in shaping a sustainable and healthy future".

Vulcher2
Mr. Walt Butler is the inventor and manufacturer of the Vulcher2. It is an ingenious attachment that can be placed on commercial lawn mowers. The purpose of this attachment is to help bring an end to the doubtful practice of removing all the falling tree leaves from private properties and (public) parks.
Leaf removal makes for poor soils and rob trees from valuable nutrients. With this Vulcher mulching attachment, fallen leaves are pulverized when mowing lawns and then driven back in the the grass mat where they can compost further, thus replenishing trees, grass and plants. Not to mention that it is no longer necessary to haul leaves from your property.

Schichtel Nurseries
Schichtel's Nurseries produces excellent tree material and also supplies bare root trees. They are upstate NY and a wholesale nursery, thus as an end user of trees you can not buy. However it is good to have a look at their material and ask your local nurseryman if they can source trees from Schichtel.
