Boreal Forest Fire Ecology, The Strategy of Jack Pine and Black Spruce

[@LostLakes]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Loved the timelapse of the Pj cones. It's an incredible cycle.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Jon, it is a pretty incredible thing that fire and trees do.

I found some Jack Pine on islands in northern New Hampshire a few days ago. I was excited because it was the first time I've seen them.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Very cool, Jack pine is super common here and I know it's range goes as far as Maine and Nova Scotia but it becomes very rare.

[@DonaldMcDonald]

It's great to hear a knowledgeable person sharing what they know. The sound levels were a bit inconsistent though. Not a criticism, just FYI.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Donald, and sorry for the sound. I made a lot of fixes to it as the wind was a challenge. I thought I had it right but I didn't. Continual learning!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Where I grew up in New York and Vermont it was mainly Eastern Deciduous with a bit of Boreal in the Adirondacks. I find your forestry videos fascinating

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks, I now try to sprinkle this kind of content into my normal production. These videos don't get great numbers of views but those who watch seem to really appreciate them.

[@bertrandberthelsen1105]

Excellent and informative video - it is always fascinating to see how forests will repopulate after a fire and to find the pioneer plants, and apparently trees that need fire to reproduce! Thank you.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Bertrand!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Tom!

[@MichealBacon]

Bravo! That was very informative and interesting. I didn't know you had ninja forest biology in your repertoire. I'm looking forward to witnessing some of that WCPP ecology first hand in the next few weeks. Thanks for sharing another awesome video, Kevin.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Legend, have a great trip!

[@MamasBasecamp]

Thank you for a very interesting video. Much enjoyed.

[@KevinOutdoors]

No problem Mama, thanks for watching!

[@lynngarber5497]

Excellent.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Lynn, I wish the wind wasn't so strong that day but I couldn't do much more about that.

[@earlhayes2969]

Hey Kevin awesome Lesson very interesting and informative thanks Earl

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Earl!

[@whiteranger0505]

Awesome video thank you!

[@KevinOutdoors]

Glad you liked it!

[@grannyrsh5553]

Interesting and well done!

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Granny!

[@1967AJB]

Interesting film sir, many thanks.

[@KevinOutdoors]

You are welcome Andy! Much appreciated!

[@mike_outdoors4918]

Very interesting, it amazes me how some life needs fire to reproduce, thanks Kevin 👍🙂

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Mike, from a human perspective it is strange to think that the trees all need to be burnt up before they can reproduce. But that is exactly what is happening.

[@barneyewing2664]

Nice lesson on forest ecology. You should do more of this.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Barney, I just might. Better to find a less windy day for it! :)

[@jameswillis1742]

In northern michigan, controlled jack pine forest fires have helped bring back the kirklands warbler from the endangered species list...oddly enough tne kirklands warbler is a bird that thrives, benefits from forest fire

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks James, many species rely on fire to renew the ecosystem. Much appreciated!

[@jameswillis1742]

@@KevinOutdoors yeah the Kirklands warbler has been on the endangered species list since I was a kid in the 80s im glad to see the bird is now thriving

[@JustinMcKinneyhiker]

Nice vid, thanks for the information !!

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks you Justin atb!

[@kevinharding2099]

Well done. Adding scientific information to your videos is appreciated.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Kevin!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Hey buddy nicely explained! It's amazing how everything is interdependent on the elements. Take care, Wade

[@KevinOutdoors]

Yes, I'm always amazed at the scale and apparent devastation of wildfire. But it is the fire that causes new life to take hold in that location. Without fire there would be no trees here.

[@griss0817]

Great fire ecology lesson, thank you. I also like how you use the drone to give an overview (well, duh) and then get right down the ground to show and explain the regeneration.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks Kiwi, much appreciated!

[@prayfornathannatureshow]

This was great. I am a tree lover and loved the knowledge you shared. Excellent format.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks, I really appreciate the comment!

[@SlayermikeFishingandMORE]

Great video Kevin very informative and entertaining till the end glad I watched

Thanks Mike! I really apprecaite that!
