Across the Pacific Northwest, Hawai'i and Australia, resource actors in liminal positions between forestry and guitar manufacturing pursue new roles as forest stewards, experimenting with multi-species plantings for future use beyond their lifetimes.

Transformational change necessitates diversified experiments for unpredictable scenarios, accepting that many will fail.
