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.…

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…

The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) problem, originated in Asian countries, shifted from a decayed and rotting host of trees in south east Asian countries to native, nursery, fruit, and landscape tree hosts in southern California and Israel. The boring beetle and tree host could exist mutually, however, the distinct symbiotic relationship between the invasive ambrosia beetle Euwallacea and the destructive fungi Fusarium poses a potential lethal threat to specific host trees, such as avocado…

Different amounts of sun and moisture due to microclimate would seem to support different types of vegetation in biomes like forests (Molles, 2016). The composition of the forest would allow the direct observation of the influence of microclimate on tree distribution. Comparing the distribution of large and small trees can give an indication of what the composition of the forest may look like in the future. Site Description: The forest composition lab was carried out in Newton Hills State Park.…

The video about The Tree if Life is very interesting because it is about the voladores ritual. This ritual is about a 1500 year old rite that is performed in the video by the Totonac Indians. The Totonac Indians are from Huehuetla, Puebla, Mexico. What happens in the ritual is usually about five flyers climb to the top of the pole and then, hang down by a rope which is wrapped around the pole. Four of five flyer are hanging upside down and rotate around the pole with the rope until they reach…

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…

things the landscaper can do to make your trees more appealing. Remove The Lower Branches Removing the lower branches, also known as raising a tree, has several advantages. For one, it makes the trees look taller. They also appear better groomed with the bushy, lower branches removed. Getting rid of low branches also allows for more space under the tree. This gives you easier access to your yard for mowing, walking on the lawn, and playing in the yard. It's also a good idea to remove lower…

Many propose that the evolution of Mistletoe comes from the old American tale of kissing the one you love under it during Christmas time, but the evolution of mistletoe goes deeper than that. Mistletoe is often considered pests that kill trees and devalue natural habitats, but some species have been recognized as ecological keystone species, which are organisms that have a overly pervasive influence over their community. Mistletoes is known for sink their roots and trees like their ancestors…

the scarf before the sun goes down but she can’t avoid drifting her eyes towards the window and looking at a giant tree dripped by the early morning dew. The tree has aged immensely and it somehow resembles her, she thinks the texture of the bark looks like the wrinkles on her body. Fifty years living in the same countryside humble house, it was incredible how such an ordinary tree could bring back so many vivid sad and happy memories. She asks her soul: Will the loved ones still remember me…

What you Need to Know About Gypsy Moths By Mike Perri, The Davey Tree Expert Company Gypsy moth caterpillars defoliated thousands of trees in Toronto last year, creating a symphony of chomping and leaving behind a mess of droppings. To combat the infestation, the Toronto Urban Forestry staff implemented control measures in 2017. Because of their successful efforts, the city will focus on treating individual trees, instead of doing widespread aerial spraying, in 2018. But keep in mind that…
