Thanks Martin. Not sure why, but I've always tried to keep my teaching stuff I've done part-time at the college for over 30 years separate from my Happy Camper stuff. But why? It's actually my background. I graduated as a forest tech, then worked in fish & wildlife, then parks. So, I got up this morning and said...let's go for a walk in the woods and chat about twigs. LOL

Great video Kevin. Watched this the other night and went for a walk in the woods today. It's amazing how many Ironwoods we have here. This time of year they're very easy to spot because the seeds show up so well on the snow. Now I have to watch again to figure out what all those other trees were.

Awesome video! I love hearing all the tricks people have for remembering certain characteristics of trees, like the "red buds of the maple - red like the devil" etc. It makes it easy to remember things. I did not know about the canted buds of the Elm. That's a useful thing to keep in mind. I heard someone else describe the bark of an Elm looking like an "Oreo" cookie sandwich when you break it, which I thought was another neat observation. Anyway, keep up the great content! Cheers from New York.

It's happening here at a dramatic rate as well. Good news - there were lots of ash saplings in the wooded area I traveled - and some major, huge ash as well. Not sure why they haven't been attacked by the ash borer yet.
