"Luskwood consists of approximately 99% of Perry, 70% of Lusk, most of Clara, and a bit of Tehama. Formed in September 2003, it is run by Arito Cotton, Eltee Statosky, Liam Roark, and Michi Lumin. It is considered the largest, if not the only PG \"furry-themed area\", currently over 130,000 square meters in size. Owing to this, another main theme in Luskwood's charter is to provide a \"natural\" area, free of commercial focus and overbuilding. Its \"back forty\" in Perry often serves as an impromptu unofficial sandbox and event area, much like an actual park would."@en . "Luskwood"@en . . "Luskwood consists of approximately 99% of Perry, 70% of Lusk, most of Clara, and a bit of Tehama. Formed in September 2003, it is run by Arito Cotton, Eltee Statosky, Liam Roark, and Michi Lumin. It is considered the largest, if not the only PG \"furry-themed area\", currently over 130,000 square meters in size. Luskwood also runs Luskwood Creatures, the builders of some of the first anthropomorphic avatars in Second Life (beginning in SL 1.0). Over 40,000 Luskwood avatars have been sold, and more types continue to be added. Luskwood Creatures has raised charity money for the SL charity group VERTU, and the RL charity groups Heifer International and the American Red Cross by auctioning off limited-edition avatars and having fundraising Of note is the fact that Luskwood stresses that non-furry residents are welcome in Luskwood at all times, and often it hosts non-furry and general access events on their land. Luskwood is first and foremost a \"park and nature preserve\"; its founders being furry is mainly coincidental and its status as a furry centerpiece is mainly honorary, as the furry theme was never part of its original charter. However, most furries are known for their solitary nature and waryness of outsiders, (another myth Luskwood attempts to dispel) and because of this, it is often assumed that non-furries are not welcome. However, its founders are avid scripters, builders, and artists, and try to emphasize a welcoming attitude towards anyone whatsoever. Due to Luskwood's location near the Ahern new resident welcome area, it is often one of the first mainland stops for new residents beyond the welcome area. Avatar building tips are freely given, as well as advice to newcomers on the SL experience, and Eltee Statosky's experience with the SL particle system is well-known. Owing to this, another main theme in Luskwood's charter is to provide a \"natural\" area, free of commercial focus and overbuilding. Its \"back forty\" in Perry often serves as an impromptu unofficial sandbox and event area, much like an actual park would. Another feature of Luskwood is its Jogauni quests. When one buys one of their Jogauni avatars, one has the option of taking part in a HUD guided quest. One follows a hint, which guides them somewhere on the Luskwood grounds, until they find the location of the next clue. This goes on and on until they find a staff of the element of their avatar, which is either Shadow, Light, Metal, Wood, Fire, Water, Air or Earth. To this end, Luskwood also is a partner in the Lusk Estates Charter, a residential and non-commercial area for new or non-landowning residents adjacent to Luskwood itself. Lusk Estates was originally Linden-controlled but since the \"keys\" have been handed over to a new group, the \"Lusk Estates Land Trust\" to oversee the area, consisting of Chage McCoy, Eltee Statosky, Michi Lumin, Chromal Brodsky and Kex Godel."@en .
