The 3rd edition of North American Agroforestry would not have been possible were it not for the assistance of two supporting co‐editors in the preparation of the 1st edition. The current editors express their thanks to W. J. “Bill” Rietveld and R. F. “Dick” Fisher for making this 3rd edition possible. Many hours are spent preparing chapters of the nature found in this text, as is also the case for reviewers who give freely of their time. The editors wish to extend a very special thanks to the authors and dedicated reviewers for their contributions. We also are grateful to Caroline Todd at the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry for the logistical support she provided during this project.

The senior editor would be remiss if he did not acknowledge his wife, Joyce, who provided guidance and computer skills in revising and formatting chapters. Without her very capable assistance and encouragement, his job as a co‐editor would have been many times more difficult. And last but not least, to the many contributors to the temperate zone, agroforestry literature, the editors express acknowledgement and appreciation for a job well done!
