Haha don't come to Canada the deer fly are so bad it's like you stepped on a wasp nest😂😂

A cable skidder and a grapple crane is not something you see every day. That equipment is ancient. Most loggers now days use grapple skidders and knuckle boom loaders.

This is the single most interesting thing I learned this week

Which tree makes the best milk?

You can say this for all multicellular life

Emerald ash bore here. Sucks 😢

Went fishing for trout in p.a. under Hemlocks , found that if l ran from hole to hole l stayed ahead of the thickest bunches . What the hay l caught trout along with my lumps haha.

Can anything be done about the increase?

Great ending!😂

Im a homestead, permaculture and land management specialist. I've been really enjoying your videos. I tried doing forestry and wildlife land management out east. Moved out to Arizona and I might get one mosquito all night. I can't tell you how nice it is to not have ticks, chiggers deer flies and sqeeters.

This was a great new perspective, thank you!

I've never thought about trees this way

It kind of sounds like they're plural

But I thought the natural wildfires were supposed to go through and clean up all that messiness? Isn’t the messiness there because we’ve been putting out the natural wildfires?

Great, here I was thinking I could improve my forest by thinning out the Beech Bark affected trees and leaving the healthy ones. Since its a nematoad is it spreading slower than EAB (the other great tree killer coming)?

I thought your voice sounded familiar! I knew I'd heard you speak somewhere before, and it just dawned on me that it was from when you were on the Nature's Archive podcast. That was a really good episode. Are these videos from your property you spoke of on that show?

Trees are the Borg!

Wow

Why isn't this taught in biology?

Hell yeah 🤘🖤 thanks for teaching me something.

Our property has a lot of beech bark disease which is causing them to really spread like crazy in the understory and I have been starting to work on taking out the most diseased clusters when they are leafed out. Therefore I am a bit conflicted, it is a daunting task to keep the beech with bark disease at bay, but I don't want the healthy (or at least bark disease resistant) ones to die as well.

Except Aspen trees!

this changed how i look at trees. thank you for the educational content. is bamboo also not an individual? it shoots from rhizomes but isnt the whole plant a single organism?

Interesting! So which wins out in the case of say a Black Walnut that is pruned in Summer resulting in the sprouting of a bunch of new growth "suckers" or water sprouts? Is it the tree's response to force that growth even if "suckers" are likely to negatively impact the tree itself? It seems counterproductive to have a response that is a detriment to the tree itself if those suckers are hording nutrients that would benefit a stressed tree. You'd think that would be a response that would be shed through the evolutionary process? Or, maybe it is being shed as we watch, being that trees haven't really been pruned for all that long in the grand scheme of things. I've never thought of a tree facing such inner turmoil and conflict. 😄 It really is interesting to think about!

Colonies. Tree roots from different trees in a forest communicate with each other via mycelial networks. Does the root system influence which branches die?

The trees in our yard are absolutely loaded with pinecones. In late may/early June they were making pollen in OVERDRIVE, my allergies hadn’t been that bad in years and everything turned yellow overnight. The pines themselves were yellow, it was the weirdest thing. I’d never seen pines turn yellow with pollen.

I’m glad this showed up in my feed, I’ve preordered it. Can’t wait to read it!

Awesome...everytime I learn something new (about trees and plant life), I am inspired and add more joy and happiness into my creative life in my small art studio. Thank you for this beautiful video today. 🌲💜🌲💜🌲💜🌲

Hahs

One of the best videos I’ve seen on KZfaq. This should get way more love.

Done :)

Hi Ethan. I have a question that has nothing to do with this video. It's about forest aesthetics. I started following you because of your work at Catamount in Williston. My sister & I were hiking in Niquette Bay yesterday, really appreciating the beauty of the woods. We compared them to Catamount. We love snowshoeing up to Cliffs of Insanity in the winter, but don't tend to go there in the summer. I think the woods on the way up to Indian Lookout are dark & ugly. Obviously, there is no diversity. But can you explain why that part of the woods is so depressing? (Not the part you worked on.) Thanks. Jennifer from Burlington.

They are growing more and more ALLLLL over our backyard! INVASIVE! how we stop it and get our lawn back?

How true...

And on a good day foresters and loggers learn something from each other. It’s ok for a young, know it all forester to learn something practical from a logger and it’s ok for a stubborn old logger to learn something new from a forester. It happens

Yeah, a wild red oak seedling grew in my yard, instead of mowing it down I placed a barrier around it to protect it from deers and a few days ago it overcame transplant shock and started growing leaves
