  • Lakeview Federal Sustained Yield Unit Working Group would like to express its deep appreciation to Chris Maser and present him with "The Pooperoonies Award," March 9, 2001.

  • Chris, step by step we (WOLF Forest Protection Movement) are buying the forestland in Cergov Mountains. Maybe you are remembering the coal mile, on which you were sleeping one or two nights during your trip in Slovakia. This place was near the ridge and above fir-beech forest. This place—together 2 hectares—we have bought year before. Since you visited us, this coal mile we call Maser's mile. With warm wishes, Dása Lukácová

  • Dear Chris Maser: I am pleased to inform you that you have received a tree in the Wolf Private Nature Reserve, as a gift. The tree will never by logged and will remain on its place. It is the gift from Miroslav Tomás (on 20 October 2016).

    By buying trees in this reserve, people contribute to a collection for the extension of this strictly protected nature reserve in the Cergov Mountains in eastern Slovakia. The Wolf Reserve is situated below Valká Javorina hill near the village Olejníkov in the Savinov District, Slovakia. For the Forests: Dása Lukácová
