[@NatureofNewYork]

I'm loving this nature walk series!!! Keep them coming!! 🌱🌻🌿🌹☀️

[@milesbizon8624]

I love these nature walks, I’ve started doing the same in the woods behind my house and have a lot of fun finding/identifying native species

[@srlee203]

Hope to see this series come back in the Spring!

[@heatherreich2687]

In Colorado it’s literally illegal to poach flowers in the wild… you can grow them for cutting in your own yard. ❤❤❤ Love all you do.

[@kenttheboomer721]

Can we get this guys channel to 1M subs? Love the indigenous approach. From N. GA.

[@fareebug8439]

Wow! I learned so much! Thank you. Thrilled to find this channel! Great message! Now I'm excited for Wednesdays!

[@NikkiCox81]

When I was a kid I had a friend that lived north Cleburne Co and we used to go out into the woods at her house and look for mountain laurel. We never found that many, they are so beautiful!

[@delve_]

There's a ton of them around Putnam Springs (near Borden Springs), which is now owned by the USFS, so it's public. Also, if you walk the trails in the the Mountain Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge in Calhoun County, you'll find more mountain laurel than you can count.

[@EricPeterson-e5n]

Love your mission. Don't give up!

[@davidparker8752]

Nice hike. Thanks for taking us along. Great content. Keep it up

[@SockyNoob]

Those mountain laurels are gorgeous looking!

[@ellen4356]

[@infernaldaedra]

Gotta love those. 1960s & 70s style Natural Forest signs great thumbnail!

[@kellyharrison5184]

A beautiful walk! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@danpollina8721]

Super educational. You should run a plant recognition workshop!

[@brianbradley7282]

I learn with every video thank you

[@Coreyhkh2]

[@garymckinney3437]

I grew up hiking and camping at Cheaha. I now live just outside TNF.

[@drewgoodwin8019]

Glad to see you in my neck of the woods! The waterfall that you went to is called Devils Den if you didn’t know!

[@Northcountry1926]

Much Respect from the North 🇨🇦

[@maggielandrey7232]

Ooooo a longer video... yes please lol

[@theawecat27]

those honeysuckle vines look so good!

[@SockyNoob]

Kyle, you should totally visit DeSoto National Forest in south MS. I've been wanting to go because there's a load of savanna being maintained there.

[@scotto9591]

Thank you 😊

[@tas5622]

nice video. very insightful. I enjoyed it a lot! I wonder how we can spread your message in other states.

[@ascott6804]

I almost lived at Devil's Den my sr yr. I've never seen it empty from people. Must of been a school day! Lol!

[@nance1111]

Don't pick the flowers, take photos! Then you can look at the photo anytime you'd like and remember the beautiful day when you took the photo.

[@sharedgoblin560]

Are those also called trumpet vines the red flowers with the weird leave?

[@delve_]

I'm from North Alabama too, and I was wondering, how do you get involved in the kind of work you do? I've been really interested in land stewardship for a while now. Do you have any advice?

[@delve_]

Btw, this style of video is giving me Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't vibes, haha. All you need is more crude humor and swearing, lol.

[@rtwhitson3]

I live on a creek in central South Carolina. We have mountain laurel growing wild along the creek bank in a semi-open area. It is shaded in the morning and early afternoon, with some sunlight late in the day. There is a huge quantity of it along the creek, so I presume conditions are good for that species. Would I be able to plant some of this species in my front yard which is fairly similar in light quantity and timing, and facing the same general compass direction? If so, would I need seeds or cuttings or rooted plants? I would love to use the wild plants from 75 yards downstream from my house. They are truly beautiful.

[@chris0895ozone]

Will Mountain Laurel grow well in South Alabama? How about "sweet shrub"?

[@drawntoyou52]

Great channel Wish I knew what state this was in😂

[@-GloryGloryToOlGeorgia]

How old are the trees in that section of the talladega?

[@jacobmegois2780]

I know of a spot in the 'dega Forrest where there is still got some ginsing. And I can take you to a spot that is crawling in turkey(also in 'dega Forrest). Also I live in Anniston and was wondering if you help people look at their property to restore native varieties. I am being overrun by privet hedge and Bradford pear.

[@sharedgoblin560]

That’s in Georgia, right

[@luanneshii3208]

Hello everyone. I am a new subscriber. I was wondering if any can tell me what app is the best for identifying plants. Also how can I kill prevet

[@luanneshii3208]

Privet hedge. 😊

[@delve_]

iNaturalist is your best bet for an app. You can get feedback from real people to determine what a plant is. As for killing privet, Ecologic ATL has some good advice. Here's what they say: EcoLogic Removal Methods: - For saplings, manually uproot with soil knife - For woody stems 6”: in the fall, cut at waist-height and use the cut-and-treat method*

Where's the wildlife/fire pics?
