whoops, sorry about that misdirection! I thought there was thresher group, but only a thresher discussion. There might be more than that one discussion but I'm not sure. It sounds like what you wanted to do is post "reply to this" the way I've don...
Earth Skills for changing times. Experiential programs embracing wild edible and medicinal plants, holistic health, sustainable living skills and the inner journey. Annie McCleary, director, and George Lisi, naturalist.
I dig the poetry, but I personally prefer passion and solutions over doom-speak.
Cheers~
First, you gotta be a member of that group.
Once you're a member, go to that group's page (&you have to be logged in to the site) and then add the discussion there.
Cheers~

- You asked: ..Does the Ning have apps for sharing posts with Facebook etc? ... Not that I'm aware of but stay tuned, because Ning makes frequent upgrades. If you discover some kind of auto sharing, please let me know.

Mark Krawczyk said… - Hey Alec
I'm excited to hear about your land and the vision to begin coppice management there. I have a fair bit of experience with established coppice systems in Britain and would be happy to talk with you more about establishing yours. Feel free to give me a call at 999-2768 to talk more.
Sorry to hear you can't make the workshop on Wednesday. I will be doing it again in Montpelier May 5 at Hunger Mtn. so hopefully that'll be a little more convenient for you but might be a bit late to wait to start cutting.
Give me a call and we can share ideas. I'd love to come out and visit to see what you're dealing with.
Best wishes and looking forward to future connections!
Mark

- Hi Alec! Welcome.
The bulletin looks great. Suggest you list it as a 'group' so more people can find it thru this site. Also, list some of the events you might list there, etc.
I encourage you to find out what Transition Iniatives are about as well. The best single resource for learning is the Transition Handbook, by Rob Hopkins, the founder of the Transition movement.
Web resources: Transition Network, here.
If you want a quicky intro to Transition with a VT slant, read my review of the Transition Handbook. Find it under "Blogs".
Best, George Lisi, Transition Town Montpelier ~
