I have not seen 1 healthy beech tree. I had no idea they were so sick with Beech Bark disease. That beautiful smooth bark all 'poxed'. I commented that I was glad they didn't have mirrors to look into. They'd be devastated... BUT I have not seen 1 sick hemlock! This was so exciting. A few stands we've visited (this is a Forest Ecology workshop), have some big (to me...) tall guys - yeah, that's information you can REALLY do something with. I can do some circumferences today, but not height. I know these are nothing compared to the southern guys, but, since so much forest was logged here, it's great to see some that were left (I guess they are considered second generation). Also, I have encountered some very big birches. You know, I'm not sure why I bothered to write this incredibly useless discussion. Thanks for you patience, if you made it through....
