The Red Tree Essay

species such as Western hemlock, Sitka spruce, and Western red cedar dominate Haida Gwaii’s forests (Banner et al., 2014). However, the deciduous red alder tree dominated the forest at the beginning of the trail as the earlier part of the trail was new growth. This is because red alder thrives in disturbed sites such as old logging areas, and it is fast growing (Pojar & MacKinnon, 1994). According to Tollas, the red alder tree contains a brownish red dye that was used for cedar weaving. Next up…

of the tree species (I wanted to practice some tree ID). I arrived at the beginning of the Trillium Wood Trail at 13:43 and initially noticed the two signs which told visitors about the wildlife that is in the area, and to leave plant life be. This deciduous forest contained a wide variety of tree species such as sugar maple, American beech, red oak, black cherry, bitternut hickory, red maple, basswood and white ash. Majority of the trees had ID tags on them which was great practice for tree ID.…

resolution imagery in characterizing vegetation structure, thus determining the exact tree from the gps coordinates on the ground, which was a major part of the research process. Wood also emphasizes that the trees in the previously mentioned study likely grew very little between the time in-situ data was collected and when the imagery was taken over the course of several months. Since this study measured tree characteristics approximately 18 months after the imagery was collected, the d.b.h…

who died, and those who fought in other ways, to see a beautiful future for their precious American Oak. With the roots of the American Oak still stained red, with a civil war that split the tree and left a scar down the center, with wars that removed branches, and with the charred bark left from the lightning strike on September 11, 2001, the tree still stands tall and proud and its future is just as great now as it was when it was a small seed. As I stand here and gaze upwards, my vision for…

dark. My arm gets snags on something. A fallen tree. A gnarled branch. It screeches me to a halt. When my mind catches up to my halted body. I move my arm close to my face and look at it. Beads of blood emerge like seeds sprouting in spring. They grow and burst, flowering down my arm. I follow its growth; twisting and turning, spreading and caressing the curves of my limb. It reaches its end and drips, spreading its seeds onto the ravine floor. The red was added to a mixed pallet of browns,…

this one tree behind Mellinger. The tree was a deciduous type (not maple, oak, or ash), and about at mid maturity maybe 15’ tall. The fungus was visible on all the tree bark starting at the trunk and on the branches, it was not slimy it was actually dry and brittle. There were also a few lichen and old man’s beard hanging from, but not as much as there is at my woods home in Maine. Fungus are usually an epiphyte that benefits a tree so it is not healthy to see it growing on a living tree, as it…

Stanley Park is Canada’s largest park and is known for their beautiful trees that change colours during different seasons. Trees are sustainable in this park because they plant new trees once cut down or dead. The Seawall surrounds Stanley Park and is a 8.8 km walk. This attraction is popular because you could see bunch of different views of Vancouver all in one place like the Lions Gate Bridge and the beautiful, blue sea below it. I decided to involve trees into this activity because it…

redcedar trees accompanied by red huckleberry and feather mosses (Grayston, 2016a). The dominant soils in this zonal ecosystem are Humo-Ferric and Ferro-Humic Podzols with a distinctive feature being the accumulation of acidic Mor humus (Banner et al, 2014). In comparison, the montane variant of CWHwh, CWHwh2, covers approximately 7% of Haida Gwaii’s total land area and is found at higher elevations, between 350 and 600 m (Banner et al., 2014). Presence of the yellow-cedar tree is one of the key…

is used as a tool to highlight the animal. Both are cool tones which help accent the warm red and orange tones that are displayed on the cheetah’s coat and muscles. Now taking a closer look at the focus of the advertisement. The cheetah’s blood is bright red and is the first thing that the viewer sees when looking at the picture. The second thing that the viewer would see is the brown with hints of orange tree. This is also a bright color to signify the importance it plays. All bright colors…

Malicious A twisted tree trunk protrudes out of the silt like earth, covered in crude knots and lanky dead branches; the trunk hovers over the small stretch of land it sits upon. The rough, callous bark of the foreboding tree a dark hazel splattered with sections of sunken grooves. A shadow casts upon the intruding tree, darkening the bottom section of the once splendid trunk to a sinister shade of black. The upper top half on the trunk splintered, as if its own structure and size had betrayed…
