| Sustainable in the USA!
I grew up under high evergreen canopies of the Pacific Northwest. Those of us who did, understand the forestry term "Shelterwood". It typically refers to the high interconnecting branches of Douglas fir, Spruce, or Redwoods. Their branches can span hundreds of square miles. They are also home to hundreds of creatures; great horned owls, silver grays, flying squirels, marbled murrelet, osprey and eagles. Their pinecones drop seeds hundreds of feet below to sprout up in search of sunlight, while sending roots deep into the forest floor. The US Forest Service calls that high forest realm the "overstory"; in the Amazon it is called the "canopy". And, it protects the smaller seedlings until they grow strong enough to replace the giants when they fall.
In a sense, Shelterwood Publishing is similar to the "overstory". If you are an artist, author, or publisher interested in new ways of sustaining your enterprise we would enjoy hearing from you. At the very least we hope you will find our resources helpful in your own ventures--The Publisher

Trees grow tall and strong in the Pacific Northwest because they are part of a rain forest. The soothing mists there become rivulettes, streams, then roaring rivers that sustain life in thousands of ways. I spent my youth in a family logging business for thirty years. Today, much of the art I publish is an intimate view of life along mountain trails and rivers of the Pacific Northwest. Today, I enjoy supporting small, sustainable ventures--The Publisher
