My property was obviously logged at some point 70-80 years ago with the exception of predominant huge red oaks at my corner markers. The balance are tulip poplars and maples. Most of the ash are dead (thanks ash borer). My poplars are HUGE. They are quite amazing. Trees are amazing💜 I live in the southern Appalachians in NC.

Mother nature is an amazing therapist and you won't have to mortgage your home to pay her! Go ahead...next time you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed and even on the verge of giving up...go into the woods, take your shoes and socks off and dig your toes into the soil...take a good look around then close your eyes and listen to the wind blow through the trees..the birds sing..the squirrels play.

We have approximately 25% red oak, 25% white oak and 25% mature beech, the rest are mixed, tulip poplar, cotton wood, white pine, birch, hickory, maple. We have witch Hazel, Iron wood, elderberry, spice bush, and so many more. We have some huge 120yr plus Beech and Oak. On our bottom we have a yellow pine stand, with many on the ground, roots up. On the bottom of the last bench we have a white oak and a red oak, 2 of us can't out our arms around either one, a third person would be needed. I have found gay wing, trillium lady slipper and trout lilly. We planted 8 lbs of Ginseng seed over the last 5 yrs. Our bit of forest is all around us, I can see it from every window. Like you, I spent many hours learning my woods. I appreciate you doing videos that might spark younger folks to learn. We are old and it took too long to be interested.

Adam, I'm wondering if you've done any videos about the recovery in what they call a "managed forest." I hate to see the look of these, it reminds me of what a strip mine looks like. I have to assume the "management" is "better" for long term forests, but I'm wondering what your take is on that method of timbering. Hunting in eastern PA I've encountered many areas that have repopulated with VERY dense undergrowth that I can't imagine promote the natural growth of new trees, and are usually impassable on two legs with gear. Please link any such topics you've touched on!

How wonderful to see such a beautiful and healthy mature beech/maple forest! Sadly, due to excessive heat, persistent droughts and numerous pests and diseases, forests all over the country here in Germany are in a terrible state, with lots of trees dying. Whole coniferous forests are under siege or even lost already to Ips typographus, the European spruce bark beetle… It‘s awfully depressing!

I grew up in SE KY and as a kid up until my teenage years my father and grandfather would try to teach me about the land and trees in the area we would hunt at or go camping in. I wish I had paid more attention to all the things they tried so hard to teach me. After becoming an adult I moved to central Ky where I worked in a factory for 20 years. Several years ago I had returned to my hometown and currently reside here with my young family. I’ve been trying hard to return to my roots and trying even harder to remember the things they taught me. I’ve found myself more and more returning to your videos for help because I truly want to learn more about my land and all the plant life it holds so I can teach my youngest two daughters. For me you’ve been a blessing. As much as I don’t like using the internet, I’m finding myself researching more and more through it when I’ve been unable to research through books. Thank You!

Thanks Adam. Seeing these trees in the ground rather than a field guide is extremely helpful in identifying them. I'm in far northeastern Illinois where beech is rare. In fact I've only seen a couple in this area during my 60 years of life. Maybe I missed some because I mistook them for smooth maple but that won't be happening again. Again, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. 👍

I like what Susan Anne said. It does feel good to get a notification from Dr. H. His videos have a way of lifting my spirits, because of the way he describes the importance of our natural world (mature forest). Few people seem to care about nature like he does, so it excites me when he explains why there are more tulip trees and black cherry trees in one area of a mature forest, compared to another area. He wants us all to care more about our natural world and to pass that love on to others. Keep it up, Dr. H.!!

Hi Adam, I was in the Lincoln Memorial Garden today that was planted with acorns from around the country starting in 1939. A lot of those Oaks are now 16 inches across. About 25 years ago I found a patch of old grown Beech, in a swamp, about 25 miles west of Boston, MA. Some of those trees were 4+ ft. across.
@HundedeskriegesWV5 ай бұрын
Well put Adam, only thing I'd add is Old Growth Forests are usually much more diverse in age classes than a mature forest due to uneven regeneration over time as big old trees slowly die out and are replaced by shade tolerant saplings. Just because a given tree species is capable of living 350 years, most examples will never see that due to pests, stress, competition or injury due to weather events. It's like saying the maximum age of people is 122 years, very very few of us will ever see that number. So over time you end up with a stand that has everything from tiny saplings to big gnarly old timers and clusters of everything in between. True old growth forests are incredibly rare in the east and it will take hundreds of years to truly make more.

From the foothills of the western Maine mountains. I am amazed at times at how well the Black Cherry does in NY state, while in this area it rarely does much more than be a spindly skinny tree. Geographically NY isn't too far away, but apparently it is enough. The other thing is how much the bark changes on considerably older trees than their younger selves. Trees you thought you "knew" become strangers. You often need to look further up the tree on branches to find the bark you are used to seeing. Good day everyone!

I love coming across each new vid of yours. I'm in central NYS and the woods out back looks just like this. I've known my trees for decades but only by leaf! I'm working really hard at IDing them all by bark. I don't know why it's such a challenge for me! Can you recommend a book for tree ID using only the bark? There's more than 100-acres out back and the only time it's visited is during hunting season. So I can free roam it all ad lib. I love stumbling upon pockets of a particular tree and noting all the environmental factors that play into why the trees are in that spot. The forest you just described is exactly like ours. Mostly mature with many very large trees. They don't quite match the most mature ones you just showed but they're well on their way. I've always been in tune with tree habitat, living near gorges will do that (lots of Liriodendrom tulipifera, but the bark ID. That's the missing link. Any chance I could talk you into leading a walking tour of your woods? I'd be there in a heartbeat. About a 4-hour drive for me, not bad! Thank you for all you do, Adam. You're a treasure!

I live 20 min. away from Yellow Springs Ohio, there is the Glen, and John Bryan State park, and Clifton gorge, they connect, and they are old, very old, a little different than where you are showing, and they are also next to a river; the old pine forest was the best place, my husband and I married there in the Glen, that place was very beautiful, but when some 70 mile a hour winds from a hurricane came up(bizzaro in Ohio), it destroyed those old trees, and now it is over grown, instead of the pine floor, it used to have. such a change, and a shame.

I have always wondered what the difference is, between old growth and mature forests. I just never asked, because I presumed they were the same thing. I should have known better.😄 Thank you for answering that question. Well, now I have another question: What is the difference between 'the woods' and 'the forest'? 🤔 That being said, just look at all those trees... they're absolutely gorgeous to see.🥰 Trees aren't just beautiful, they're amazing. 🌲🌳🌴 Thank you Adam.

Loved this video as I am fortunate enough to have the same beautiful habit to walk through everyday. Red oak, Poplar, American beach, Sugar maples, Elm and Black cherry populate my back yard and I now know a little bit more about why they grow the way they do. It would be nice to have some more white oaks around, but they are coming in slowly on the fringes, which I learned from you that Blue Jays and their abilities to gather and bury acorns on forest edges might be the reason. Great video!
