"A forest bird never wants a cage....."  

-Henrik Ibsen 

Painting by Nibblefest artist, Penny Stewart





"Before you rip off three feet of toilet paper, consider that each year 500,000 acres of virgin boreal forest in northern Alberta and Ontario are being clear-cut to make the stuff. These forests are home to some 500 First Nation communities, as well as caribou and bears, moose and wolves, and, in the summertime, billions of songbirds...."

-Alex Shoumatoff

"All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows...."

-Michael Ende

"The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want...."
-Scott Adams

"A single tree in the tropical forest in the south of Mexico 
has more different species than some European countries...."
