Your efforts through the Overstory is a great service to all the people working in farming systems including agroforestry. We all appreciate your extremely useful service to field based scientists and development staff.

The information and data gathered from the Overstory have certainly given me more confident and valuable additional information in my advisory work on organic and sustainable farming. Organic farming and sustainable agriculture are slowly but steadily gathering momentum in my country...The information
provided by The Overstory will definitely go a long way in promoting this form of sustainable and environmental friendly agriculture system in Malaysia.

The Overstory has provided very useful information on a number of topics of interest to us. I feel it is a good idea to provide an overview on a subject as you do with a substantial number of references from the web or elsewhere for people to follow up if they want more info.

The Overstory broadens my perspective of forestry and all plant life. As you know, there is something new every day in this field and your research is fresh and often unusual. Your presentation and writing are also helpful, clear and concise in a wordy and muddled world.
--Bill Eger, Hawaii

I cannot say how much reading The Overstory has broadened my knowledge, and it is certainly helping me to complete my major project...It is very important to me because in West Africa where I come from agroforestry will do us a world of good.

I have already incorporated information into the classes I teach, and I will continue to do so. The web site has given me opportunities to give internet assignments to get my students accustomed to using the internet while at the same time learning about agroforestry.
--Dr. Joel Miles, Republic of Palau

Your news letter gives me the inspiration to continue on and try something different. I really like your links and references to information.

The Overstory is a positive influence I would not miss.
--Marco G. Kappenberger, SAMOA

The information and concepts presented have definitely expanded my knowledge of forestry and how we can better restore Hawaii's pastureland and degraded forests to thriving natural communities.
--Sally Rice, Hawaii

I work in temperate agroforestry in British Columbia, Canada. I have traveled in the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand and have a strong interest in tropical agroforestry. Your newsletter is one of my only links with tropical agroforestry, it has been very interesting. Some of your newsletter articles have expanded my understanding of temperate agroforestry systems even though they were written about the tropics.
--Richard D. Hallman, British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Canada

The Overstory gives the right kind of "how to" information sought by many of the farmers with whom I work.
