The City Forest - Rebel Farmers

THE FAMILY FARM

Yeomans and the City Forest.

If my analysis of the landscape design of Nature; of soil and landscape processes, and of the bastardisation of agriculture, are correct; the only answer to the depravity and destruction of our environment and for the consequent inhumanity of society is a re-union of mankind with the natural landscape and the ways of Nature.

Firstly, it is proposed that the City Forest be the major step for the cities; secondly; all country towns should be redesigned to include their own City Forest in preparation for increased population, and thirdly, there is THE FAMILY FARM, and the redesign of the whole farming landscape. Fourthly is the need for the creation of new cities.
