Species' Forest
Conway, MA USA

Join us this spring.

Why do we go there?

We go there to be of service to the species that occupy that place. What other reason would there be?

The Rights of Nature has to be proclaimed in a document by people, but the occupancy by native species past, present or future is already an undeniable fact.

Nothing in a species' forest is mine or ours. All of the species forest belongs to the other native species that occupy it; the plants, animals, fungi and soil microbes.

Why do we serve them? Because we can!

This plastic bird wing vintage 1955 was found in 2012 in the soil of the Species List Forest. Buried for 57 years. I remember building that bird model. Today, I prefer birds that decompose and live forever in their living DNA.

There are no facilities, trails or buildings. Any house you see close by belong to strangers who do not support the Species Forest in any way, so do not bother anyone there. It is best to call us first.

See you this Spring.

Conservation of the Natural Landscape is a Social Movement

Richard says there is more to this story.

Biology is the study of all life, but this ends there for most environmental scientists.  Most biologists are simply technicians for hire. Most join the establishment and never serve nature. In the US, species forest recognition and protection is only one part of the greater social movement. True conservationists are engaged in the full spectrums of both human justice and the rights of nature. Therefore, you can understand why I have a Facebook page that covers all social issues including Occupy Wall  Street, FEMEN, the Rights of Nature, The Rights of Mother Earth as well as the SPECIES FOREST. On Facebook search Richard Stafursky.

No such thing as environmentally friendly; nature always loses.

Typically "green" justification used by architects who assist the rich in the exploitation of the natural landscape.

1. aesthetics Actually this means altering the natural landscape on personal whim.
2. connection to the natural environment Drinking in, building in, gleaning or consuming virgin nature.
3. the challenge How to explain destroying a natural place while pretending to preserve it.
4. balance "Balance" is always used to justify natural landscape destruction.
5. modern Usually means a home which has no obvious food growing or industry capability.
6. artistic structure Non-conforming building that cannot be adapted for other uses.
7. environmentally friendly This is the biggest canard. There is no such thing. The natural world always loses.
8. sustainable materials Does not take into account where building materials came from and future reuse.
9. energy efficient systems Why have one building when you can have two for the same energy?
10. incorporate the surrounding environment Kill the natural landscape and wear its "skin."
11. maximize views Emphasis on a '"view" is classic disregard for the natural landscape.
12. private Emphasis on "private" is also a classic giveaway as to a rich man's motivation.
13. mountain site To build on a mountain is to destroy the species' home .
14. allow for large social gatherings Assume that also means outside landscaped areas.
15. natural landscaping What follows after a site is bulldozed for a culturally maintained yard and lawn.

SPECIES FOREST DEFINITION

Species Forest Defined for the First Time

"A species forest is a forest of, by and for all nonhuman species; it is a place in the natural landscape occupied by all its existing and recently extant plant, animal, fungal, and microbial organisms."  Rstafursky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Species_forest) 12:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Species forest example.  Not notably exotic, but free of human influence.

night stalkers

night stalkers

Cowards that go into and plunder open space and nature set-asides.

Night stalkers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races, religions (or no religion), political philosophies, incomes, attitudes and flavors. They plunder . . . because they can. The natural world cannot fight back, yet these cowards say it is a battle. They say it is a challenge. They say it is them against nature. They are liars, They are scout-brained, hunter-brained and townie-brained cowards. They take more than they need. They are thieves. They are fools. Their associates, chums, cousins, brothers, fathers, uncles, grandfathers taught them it was ok to plunder the wealth of our natural world, but do it secretly. No one in their family has ever stopped a family member or friend from degrading the natural world. They believe a natural area is only to be plundered. They believe that nearby preserves are for their amusement because they are nearby. When talking among themselves they brag, strut, joke, gossip, giggle and laugh. Education has passed them by. Years of the best schooling has somehow left out an all important respect for the native plants, animals and fungi of the forest. They are empty of the native. They impart to their children a cavalier attitude toward other species. Typically, they are out for themselves and trample and push aside the vegetation and rocks to make future access easier for themselves and their children. The rules do not apply to them or their chidren.They are pigs that dump litter and trash while exploring on foot. Some plink, hunt, hack, hook, trap, steal, pillage, trample, drag, cut, uproot, saw, chop, twist off, amputate, poison, sled over and piss on the forests; and don't forget there are stalkers of deserts, islands and oceans of the world. They seek adventure the same way a rapist seeks a victim. They have given themselves permission to harvest that which is not for harvesting. "I am doing reserach. I am making a film. I am creating a natural area in my back yard. I am gathering herbs. The rules do not apply to me. I'm collecting just this one time. My use of this forest is just. I'm a good person. Isn't open space for everybody?" Look closely and you will see a hidden selfish motive. They care nothing about the animals, plants fungi in a species forest.

Why are they called night stalkers? They are cowards that sneak under the cover of darkness. They time their activities well when the protectors of the species forests, deserts and oceans are not on guard.

They deface, break, move, pull up, steel and run over living things when no one is looking. They are cowards. They are pigs, They are selfish. They are something you don't ever want to be.

Our forest is a Species Forests.

Let species of the deserts, forest, islands and oceans occupy the Earth.

What do species of the deserts, forests, islands and oceans do?

They

amble,

brood, browse, burrow,

climb, crawl, creep,

dart, dig, dangle,

flap, fly, frolic,

graze, glide, grow,

hatch, hide, hop,

leap, lope, lurk,

jump,

migrate,

peck, plunge, pounce,

ramble, run, rustle,

scamper, scurry, sleep, soar, slither, squat, swim,

wail, wait, wander and wallow.

They are not critters.

They are not creatures.

They are not creations.

They are species.

They are plants, animals, fungi and microbes.

They are not for us.

They are not for fun.

They are not playthings.

They exist.

They occupy the Earth.

They are us; we are them.

We will let species occupy the deserts.

We will let species occupy the forests.

We will let species occupy the islands.

We will let species occupy the oceans.

We will let species occupy the Earth.
