I am bored sitting in an airport so I am going to post some pics for you glorious folks of… you guessed it… trees! (Try to contain your excitement!) #trees #Forests #EntPics
First in the queue, anyone guess any species here? No clues…

The interesting thing about this one 4 me is the snag in center. When #trees die they become food and home for #insects & #fungi . Those become food for #birds and #mammals . Eventually they fall and become part of the soil #ecosystem . That’s why ecologists call tree death, the 2nd life of trees.

Same area as last pic. This #forest stand was thinned leaving high quality crop oaks & maples. Toured w/ landowners and loggers. I call this “elegant” forestry bc the nearby river was wholly protected, wildlife habitat was conserved, community used the wood, & super oak seedlings resulted.

Just when I think I’m the biggest nerd alive (and my kids tell me so) I meet a random landowner who shows me this. This pic shows a #RedOak acorn (Quercus rubra). Just above that on the top of the twig, is the start of next year’s #Acorn !

Ok, getting ready to board my plane so this is the last set. I’m the Sierra Mountains, California in May just after the mountains start melting. Forest meadow restoration and then some of an old growth stand of ponderosa pine and other species. Have a great day all!

the big ones are pines. The exact species is elusive due to the distance and - sorry 😀- the quality of the pic

Haha, no worries. You’re correct, it’s eastern white pine. Poor quality but classic crown shape and arrangement. Gonna brag that I can call these driving along at 70mph. You get a correct ID point!
