 Welcome!                                                      June 1997

    This document is the Info file for members of the discussion lists:

        Tree-House (for Community Forestry & Ecologies).
        Bird-House (for Backyard Birding & Habitats).
	Bird-Tree-Digest (our combined 'ArchivEdition' List).

    The 3rd is a hybrid merger of the 2 parents. Our digest list is
    unique in that it combines the discussions from both our Tree
    and our Bird house lists.

    Sometimes people are unknowingly signed onto mailing lists by
    themselves or by others.  If this has happened to you, please
    contact us immediately and we will quickly fix the problem.
 --
    Regardless of expertise (or lack thereof) anyone interested
    is freely welcome to subscribe onto, to post to, to unsubscribe
    off of, or to 'migrate' between these 3 eco-friendly email groups.

    All that is required for full participation in our discussions
    is a standard Internet email address.

    Once every month this Info file is incrementally updated, circu-
    lated amongst our listees, and posted to some kindred newsgroup(s).

 How To Enlist Oneself:
 
    To subscribe onto or unsubscribe off of any of our 'FloraLists,'
    email a request something like these (to be read by a machine) ...

Subject: subscribe / unsubscribe / whatever [For your convenience] ...

 Remember that when switching to our digest edition, you will probably
    also want to unsubscribe from the standard versions -- otherwise
    you will receive duplications of the same material.

 Note that your requests for subscription should originate from
    one's own regular email account (not from a friends' or families'
    -- others' return addresses will not be recognized properly
    by our automatic mail processor as being from you).

    This personal address rule holds equally true when submitting
    a public message (a posting) to the list.  And please remember,
    when it comes time that you must sign off of a list, simply let
    us know what a fine time you have enjoyed, and enter a courteous
    request to either the Majordomo subscription office shown above,
    or to the FloraList Operations office at bottom.  Folks are in
    fact expected to unsubscribe from time to time for whatever their
    reasons may be, and can always return to the discussions later!

 How To 'Post' Your Message To The List:
 Address your message to one or the other of the following:

To: <Tree-House@Majordomo.Flora.Com>	(Community Forestry & Ecologies)
To: <Bird-House@Majordomo.Flora.Com>	(Backyard Birding & Habitats)

 --
 Note that these addresses which accept postings are NOT intended
    for (un)subscribe requests or for other personal (non-public)
    correspondence.  For subscription information see 'How To Enlist
    Oneself' above.  Also, our automated list-server will courteously
    prepend a 'TH:' onto the subject line of all Tree-House mail,
    while Bird-House gets stamped with a 'BH:' -- this helps you to
    quickly identify the sources of those messages.  i.e. a Community
    Forestry posting might look something like this ...
 
Subject: TH: street oak trees and nesting squirrels ...

 --
 Your postings are always appreciated by our members.  Here are
 some suggested things to write about:

 1. Ask questions.  Oftentimes you can find the knowlegeable, tech-
 nical answers you are looking for in a few hours without having to
 do further research.  Also, our multiple opinions may be of more
 value to you than that of a book's single author.  We cite many books.

 2. Excerpt your favorite books and other sources.  Be sure to explain
 clearly where others can purchase the original text.

 3. Tell us about activities in your own community.  This is where
 the Internet is so valuable.  Pass along your successes to help
 inform others, but also let us know about the projects that did
 not work out so well, saving others from similar disppointments.

 4. Don't worry that you are too much of a novice.  There is no
 such thing as a stupid question, although there are occasionally
 very wrong answers.  In the world of ecology, no topic is 'simple.'

 5. Don't worry that you are too expert.  Our readers are very
 grateful for the inputs we get from our more seasoned reporters.
 Please discuss with each other what is important to you, in your
 own language.  Successful ecosystems by definition require diversity!
