Kouta, Thanks for your reply. Generating this list will be an ongoing project. So if you will not have much time for a couple months, that is not a problem. I can lookup sites on Metacrawler and do the English ones, and muddle through the Spanish and French sites. They really don't need to be translated, so much as listed, once it is determined they contain worthwhile material.
There should be several levels of detail in different listings. First I would like to get something for most countries in Europe even if it is only general information. From there I would like to have links to good descriptions of various forests, even if they are not old growth. The main focus would be to find descriptions of the old growth areas. I want to include as many of those as possible in whatever language they might be written. The links would be organized by country. I understand that it may not be of great interest to you, but I want to include in the list links to famous or historic trees in various countries as they are of broad general public interest. There are often various scientific papers available on the web. Some of these contain good descriptions of various forests in their texts, and if they do so, they should be included. Others are not of general interest and can be left out. I don't think there should be a minimum size for old growth forests to be included on the listing. If there is a site that talks about a handful of old trees in Germany, why not include it? Articles about forest fires, commercial tree production, and similar links are not generally worth including unless they contain some significant information on the forests not available elsewhere. Communications can be by private email rather than post to the entire list once this basic organizational discussion is completed. I will post what I find to the ENTS website as I update the website and will incorporate what other send to me at the same time. It will be online for you to review.
