I was wondering if anyone has unwanted fire scar samples that they would be willing to part with... I know samples are hard to let go of, but if you find yourself sitting on boxes of old disks, I would love even just one for demonstration purposes in my Fire Ecology course. You could even consider it on loan and it could be returned at any time.
Here in North Wisconsin, old and interesting fire scars tend to be hard to obtain, in rough shape, and/or generally show one recent fire. There are areas where old trees with multiple scars exist, but I can't personally/ethically justify trying to push through the permits needed to destructively sample these rare trees just to obtain a demonstration disk of my own. If this something anyone might be interested in, I would certainly cover shipping costs. Thank you very much, fire scar Santa:), I can be contacted at the details below: Happy Holidays. Jonathan G.
