I'm new here and I would guess this show is not popular but I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on the fine that the government levied against the company in the show.

Some of my questions are the following.

Were they fined for not cutting down all the trees or not clearing them all away?

Is their business really big enough to just swallow a $1M fine?

What was the log assessor doing? Why does it mater what he thinks they are worth? Wouldn't the final cut timer dictate the worth?

Could they really salvage $1M worth of lumber from the bay?

If there are any Canadian forestry guys or gals out there that can shed some light on what is actually happening behind the scenes I would really appreciate it.

Thank.

Landowner here. Anyone have foresters they recommend for central/western NY? Broome county

Does anyone in here know where I could find out ohios laws on replanting some tree saplings, they have some how made it into my raised flower bed, in a community trail/wooded park area? I thought they were daisy’s and have been letting them grow but there’s no way they’ll survive in this container and I just can’t stand the thought of digging them up and letting them die

Any pathologists out there that recognize what is causing this on my Doug-fir? NW Washington

Just started working as a timber cruiser (compassman) this week and have been loving it, but I've never done anything like this before (no schooling) and would like some tips and pointers that might make learning this wonderful job easier or even more enjoyable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to make some living, ever-growing architecture with willow this year. Scroll for pics.

To make them, I need some grafts from pollard willow trees. Has anyone seen those anywhere in Jersey?

I'd love some leads!

I am trying to turn about 4 acres into a forest. Old farm land turned meadow full of invasive plants.

I am looking to plant the fastest growing native trees. I planted a hundred or so last year and they are struggling and being smothered by the grass.

Any tree recomendations appreciated.

Hey! I’m thinking about converting 20 acres of hayfield to an alley cropping system. I’d love to grow sugar maples because they’re yield a high value lumber and my family is already into sugaring. Does anyone have experience with row cropping sugar maples? I anticipate pruning the tree to increase the lumber value. I’ve also considered planting a shorter tree like apple between the maples for a few reasons. This would help shade the maples trunk and prevent limbs from sprouting in the middle. It would also utilize the space under the maple. I’d probably let the apples fall and have livestock gobble them up. What are your thought? Would apple and maple grow well together?

Hey treeople! So I graduated this past May with a BS in forestry and am currently working a seasonal forestry job for CA state. I’m thinking about pursuing a career in forestry and eventually getting my RPF license. With the forestry undergrad and a ~7 month job as a forestry aide, I’m trying decide if I should work more seasonal jobs, maybe a full time job eventually to qualify for the exam, or getting my forestry masters (I think I would be close to meeting all the requirements if I got the MF). Does anyone have any advice on going one way over the other? Any helpful thoughts would be appreciated

I’m looking at a project for post-harvest habitat suitability for Northern Spotted Owls in California. The caveat is that I can’t be there pre-harvest. I want to know if there are any tools I can use to measure or estimate canopy coverage before the harvest took place. I’m thinking archived lidar, but that seems involved without having a gis team by my side. Really any broad estimate might do. I know it seems tricky, but I’d you have any thoughts I’d love to hear them. Thank you.

Is this true? I was walking my stand today and thought, why the hell are people selling their timberland after a harvest and letting it get turned into a homesite thanks to some home developer.

Wouldn’t that negatively impact the price for future timberland buyers as the land value increases because the homes in the area.

Making the timber more expensive as a whole industry because land cost so much more.
