Crops from wild plants and trees are known as mast. Mast is a valuable food resource for wildlife, people and livestock. Forest species such as oak, hickory, and beech produce a hard mast—acorns, hickory nuts, and beechnuts.
Other tree and shrub species produce a soft mast, such as raspberries, blueberries, and greenbriar.
Entire forests, of annual and perennial plants, including hundreds of species of trees and shrubs, are known to mast at irregular periods of 2–12 years, providing nourishment for countless species and sustaining many ecological chain reactions.
Historically, land was valued by the amount of mast it produced.
Pigs or other livestock were turned loose into royal or common forests to fatten on mast in a practice known as pannage.
We drew our inspiration for our support levels
from our natural resources and the wisdom of history.
