| The Program | ||||||||||
| We hire moniters representing the participating ethnic groups to walk together in the woods and talk to pickers about the impact of different styles of harvesting and to gather harvester concerns. Meetings are held to assist in communication and empowerment of harvester issues, concernes and their definition of problems and solutions. The moniters recieved training in Richard Hart's technique of biophysical monitoring. They lay transects and record both yearly changes and also daily to weekly changes in fungal activity during the season. |
