    Throughout this document, the term CULPRIT is used. This is not anaccusation of any legal wrong doing. All CULPRITS are simply being heldaccountable for changes in public policy that have been detrimental to the G R E E N S PACE I NDUSTRY . Even though each of these people is a mis guided adversary, each still deserves our respect.

    Force of Nature was launched for continuous transmission on the Internet on January 1 st, 2009. It is a se-

    ries of enewsletters destined for the Green Space Industry, the environmental movement, politicians,municipalities, and the media, nationwide across Canada, and parts of the United States. Force of Na-ture is produced in two parts. First. The Media Report itself that reports on the current events affectingthe future of the Green Space Industry.. Second. Independent Perspective., which is a running commen-tary, sometimes also of a more technical in nature.

    For ce of Nature is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. The opinions ex-pressed in these enewsletters, even though from an independent perspective, may not reflect those of everyone in the Gr een Space Indu stry, or Mr. Gathercoles many associates. Be warned ! Mr. Gath-ercole and his team may sometimes be very irreverent and fearless with these enewsletters.

    William H. Gathercole holds a degree in Horticulture from the University of Guelph, and another pure andapplied science degree from McGill University. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green SpaceIndustry, including public affairs, personal safety, and environmental issues. Mr. Gathercole has been aconsultant and instructor for decades. Mr. Gathercole has been following the evolution of environmentalterrorism for over a quartercentury. His involvement in environmental issues reached a fevered pitch inthe 1990s, when he orchestrated, with others, legal action against unethical and excessive municipal regula-tions restricting the use of pest control products. ( i.e. the Town of Hudson. ) Although he can be accusedof being antienvironmentmovement, he is, in fact, simply a strong advocate for the Green Space Industry.However, this position has not precluded him from criticizing the industry itself. Nonetheless, his vastknowledge of our long journey with environmental issues is undeniab le. ( Hopefully ! ) For manyyears, Mr. Gathercole has been a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Can-adas Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority.
