Agreed. As you know I met with these folks, vetted them, and ran the concept by everyone. I explained to them, that the foundation could not financially support them, but it was a lovely idea that would be a wonderful way to honor two things that Beau cared about, children and the environment. It is planned to be a childrens teaching forest.
The reporter just called me, but I did not take the call. His explanation in the of what he wanted was strange.
