Excerpt from The Practice of Forestry
There is much truth in the proverb, Well begun is half done. It need not here be questioned whether this is literally true or not; but one thing is certain, in the planting and culture of forest-trees every false step taken must be a backward one.
As soon as a piece of ground is fixed upon for planting, the forester should take every available means and Opportunity of knowing all that can be known about it. By this it is not implied that any one is capable of knowing everything that is desirable to be known, but that he Should put himself in possession of as much knowledge of the subject as he possibly can. We often learn as much from the mistakes and failures as we do from the successes of ourselves or others.
