New Report: Small-Scale Nuclear – U.S. Prospects and Global Context

Attention has turned to small modular reactors (SMRs) as a potential partial solution to the safety risks and high up-front capital requirements that have long challenged the nuclear power industry. While more than 70 SMR designs are on the drawing board, technical, regulatory, political, and public acceptance challenges remain, and the future of SMRs is still uncertain.

In and About the Woods -
Each month, Dovetail team members are invited to share what they are seeing, doing, or experiencing in and around the woods, from personal land to public green spaces and places they visit.

Dovetail Associate Harry Groot recently experienced storm damage on his property when high winds toppled a 28-inch red oak, bringing down several neighboring trees and damaging the fence surrounding one of the sheep pasture paddocks. With the help of his grandson, Harry salvaged as much of the fallen wood as possible for firewood, which is currently being processed. A 20-foot section of the tree still remains on the neighbor's side of the fence.

In Case You Missed It: Big Data, Data Centers, and Their Environmental Impacts

Data centers now touch nearly every part of daily life from streaming to cloud storage to social media, and increasingly, AI. But that convenience comes with a real environmental cost.

In this report, we examine current and projected environmental impacts of cloud computing and large data centers, highlight technologies for mitigating those impacts, and identify management strategies that businesses and individuals can use to reduce their electronic footprints. https://www.dovetailinc.org/portfoliodetail.php?id=695c007dc7906

New Series: Living with Forests — Essays on Stewardship

These essays explore how forests function, how stewardship works in practice, and how our relationships with forests take shape over time. Drawn from years of working in and with forests, and from conversations with people who care deeply about them, they are offered as part of an ongoing effort to understand how people and forests live well together. Some of what follows may feel familiar, and some may feel new, but each essay invites reflection on the living processes of forests and our place within them.

Essay #1: Forests Are a Verb
Reframing forests as dynamic ecological systems shaped by disturbance, renewal, and time—and exploring stewardship through the lens of living processes.
