Abstract: John Groome’s career in forestry should probably be referred to as his life in forestry, as that’s how much it meant to him. It was a career of significance. It wasn’t sufficient for him to just participate - he needed to contribute and make a difference. John was a thinker and read widely, and was happy to make his views known and to debate them. While this might challenge you, working with him was rewarding and it made you reflect on your own views.
