Hi Tim Here

The school year is slowly winding down and we are assisting Alan and Pauline with a couple of teams this month. What this means is that Sheila is doing a great deal of baking at this time and someone has to be the official taster! What a house to be in at this time.

Here are a few pictures showing the interface between forest and agriculture in Guatemala. As I work on the Trees For Global Renewal project the significance of agriculture is always to be considered. Many hills that probably should be growing trees that stabilize soil are cultivated for corn and there is a slow erosion, well it is actually not slow (many slumps and washouts) when the big rains come.
