Leaf Identification for Ontario

[@Spexxy19]

You must have a few dozen kids given how many dad jokes you tell lol. Really though, love your videos! Your enthusiasm is infectious :)

[@rajivinadarajah4667]

Best way you taught this. Please make more like this for tree identification with testing!

[@ruthsansford5402]

My granchildren, William (7) and Marie (5) and I got just 1 wrong. Thank you for helping us learn about the leaves we picked up on a forest walk.

[@wbrussell19]

My dendro prof. never once mentioned bum, ass or tookus. Now these images are burned in. Just kidding. Thanks Kevin. Fun stuff.

[@rlsingle00]

I enjoyed your leaf identification. I took dendrology in college for biology credits. I enjoyed the course, after leafs fall we had to identify by bark and terminal buds. I made an A in dendrology, back in the seventies. So yes I am old as dirt. I got 100% correct on your test. I have been a faithful follower for years. Keep up the great work.

[@ErinFisherMusic]

Okay, I missed 2 in your test! That was such fun! Thank you so much ❤️👏

[@TheHappyCamper]

Glad you enjoyed it. Which ones did you get wrong?

[@Glassie3731]

I have a test on this in like an hour. I love this guy so much.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Glad it helped. What program are you taking to have a test on Leaf ID?

[@trishaharrison6183]

So informative. Thanks so much. Love your sense of humour.😘

[@byronstuff]

12/12. Thank you so much. Thanks for putting this together for everyone. If you ever feel compelled, a Shrub i.d. would a ton of fun.

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hey bro hope you are well and having a great day so far. Just found you today and really pleased we have your videos are awesome bro. Fantastic editing skills and great footage bro. A very warm welcome to our YT family. Thanks so much for sharing this. Really enjoyed it. Stay safe and catch up again real soon God bless you.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks so much. More ID stuff to come. Working on a mineral ID video

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Kevin: Thanks for a handy tree identification. It may not mean I'm a woodsman but it's nice to know whom I'm talking to. By the way I always ID beech trees by the bear claw marks on the bark. Stay Safe & thanks Brian 80

[@kristooley4112]

This was really good. I am always trying to distinguish trees on my walks :).

[@kjstein]

Yes, Kevin! I've been meaning to learn Ontario trees for years and I feel like I'm finally getting it! I got 10/12. I forgot beech and balsam poplar. Thanks!

[@laurynleblanc5104]

awesome, awesome video! I was just starting to think to myself 'oh I'll have to review this a few times and try to test myself to make sure I understand' and then you did a review and a test!! Thanks for this

[@TheHappyCamper]

Glad you enjoyed it. I have a bunch more ID videos on my channel

[@railerz101]

Wow. Good job, and very informative. Thank you. I will learn all these names.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. I'm glad it was helpful.

[@CanoeCanuck]

This is great, thank you. In the past I've tried using google images for identification but this is so much easier to remember.

[@andrzejmadrivercanoe6979]

It's already the first day of fall in Poland, the leaves are falling well worth the day, I greet

[@m.b.6420]

Informative... thanks for the upload 👍🏼

[@naturestudiojenfalvy]

Fabulous video! Informative and enjoyable!!

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks.

[@filmic1]

Always enjoy your seminars! Thank you.

[@stevel5771]

Mr Murphy would-be proud I remembered all of them and most of the Latin names

[@TheHappyCamper]

Mr. Murphy - good times back then. I was a terrible student though.

[@stevel5771]

@@TheHappyCamper I was also. Too many nights at the purple lantern. I was there 85-87 . I think from your bio I was a cpl of years behind you

[@TheHappyCamper]

@@stevel5771 You must have had Mr. Fisher as well. LOL And I remember the Purple Lantren well LOL

[@stevel5771]

@@TheHappyCamper I sure did have Mr Fisher. He scared the hell out of at first! I haven't thought of those instructors in years. Your video brought back a lot of memories. I try to keep up on my plant ID but it slowly is slipping away except for the common stuff

[@TheHappyCamper]

@@stevel5771 He scared me too at first. During a test of the water pump hose for forest fire fighting I let the clamp go by mistake and water and mud splashed into his face. I thought he was going to kill me - but he laughed and said " I guess you failed that one Mr Callan." LOL He ended up being a good instructor at the end.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

love the identification video's. i know what a poplar is but never knew the 3 different. Thanks Kevin!!

[@justinanderson]

I love videos like this! Thanks for sharing Kevin!

[@ripplesandleaves]

Thanks so much for this. I find it so fascinating, and I'm jazzed to know what the heck I'm looking at in the woods.

[@TheHappyCamper]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have a bunch more ID videos on the channel (mammal, fish, frog call, bird call...)

[@ripplesandleaves]

@@TheHappyCamper I'll look for them. This is the kind of stuff I've always wanted to learn! Thanks again. 💜

[@brentandellesoutdooradventures]

I wish I had your memory. Thanks.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Hello, thank you for this. I do some tree ID myself. Subscribed -Anthony

[@Bob-Maplethorpe]

Missed the aspens. I'll never forget elm again!)

[@Woodswalker1965]

Excellent teaching skills. Thanks👍

[@BackcountryPaddler]

Quick, learn them now before they're gone soon! You crack me up Kevin!! 😆😆 learning and laughing over here. -Mark

[@KevinOutdoors]

Well done! Thanks for the refresher!

[@TheHappyCamper]

I hope you aced it Kevin

[@jessevalente9018]

Can you make more of these videos about the different species of tress

[@richardbarber4804]

Do more of these you're great

[@tmings1208]

Ahh, fond memories of so many plant classes and even plant ID competitions (range management students back in the day were a competitive bunch). When do you move to the conifers ?

[@suezaple4950]

thanks for the identification helpful lesson.

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Thank you so much for this one !!! I have a bottle of scotch for you !!! Just out in Whitby how can I get it to you ! It's over 12 years , non chill filtered!!!

[@glenwarren404]

I did good...I forgot where I was though. Great show

[@StarGehzer]

How did you not describe the Beech leaf as looking like a canoe!

[@conniewaite1996]

I missed one,that was fun

[@Zamalkawy_diary]

Hi, there is a tree in my backyard in Newmarket. It was originally just a weed like other grass week. I liked it so decided to let her grow bigger. I need to know it’s name and wether I keep it or not. How can I send you a photo of it?

[@crataeguscrusgalli]

A very good video. However, I have never heard red maple (Acer rubrum) described as "more like a bush."

[@TheHappyCamper]

More like a "weed tree."

[@zackbradley7996]

thank you!!

[@JamesBrown-bn7fl]

Nice lesson, thanks! Curious, which park was that?

[@TheHappyCamper]

It was some conservation area just outside of Kingston , Ont. I forget it's name though. Sorry.

[@seanagon182]

Darn! 8/12 Been working on my conifers too hard.

[@Outdoorswithmikey]

11. Great video

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks

[@mrau84]

Good Job, thanks!

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. Hope you did well on the test.

[@mrau84]

@@TheHappyCamper got the beech and elm reversed. I have an big American elm in my front yard that unfortunately has the Dutch elm disease. It's had it at least 15 years, and is slowing dying. I wish there was a cure for it.

[@BushtreckBoosh]

I'm taking notes right now haha

[@BushtreckBoosh]

Totally didn't know there was a test lol

[@ontarioinaction8352]

Is that the tree and shrubs leaf collection assignment from Soo College?!?

[@TheHappyCamper]

I wonder if I still have all those pressed leaves and plants somewhere LOL

[@BadKittus]

6:00 keep those jokes on the downlow in Lindsay or Dunville 🤫😂😂😂😂😂

Especially Kinmount 😂😂😂😂😂

basswood + fig leaf. got it

Kevin, what is that nice wool shirt-jac you’re wearing?

[@TheHappyCamper]

Scott - a outdoor educator (Bull Moose Patrol) gave it to me while at the winter camping symposium at the northern US last year. I love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B086DY93HN/?ref=exp_bullmoosepatrol_dp_vv_d

[@ScottOethatBullMoosePatrol]
