There has been 3 mass timber projects compleated at c.n.l in chalk river in the last few years

lovely video and cant wait to join

We have hungry squirrels in our neighbourhood after the wood lot behind was culled. I would be happy to plant an American chestnut in the backyard😊

This tree won't be in my area but perhaps I should look for it in a westwards extension toward Parry Sound where I spend some time. It's unfamiliar to me: if I ran into it unawares, I might wonder it it were a weird hybrid between black spruce and Norway spruce. It has long somewhat pendant branches and orange twigs like Norway spruce, but the needles and especially the cones are short and the twigs often hairy.

It is good.

I am happy and ok to work wiy you.

Thanks so much for having me for this webinar! I had so much fun, and hope everyone enjoys it! ❤

Awesome conference! Could you tell me why Norway spruce is generally preferred over native spruces/conifers for hedgerows and windbreaks?

The riparian zone here was full of beautiful mature elms when I moved out here 20 years ago. DED has killed about 75% of them since. About 5% are rock and the rest American. There is a large heritage Elm with a plaque a half kilometer down the road on highway #2.

Maybe you mite be interested?

Oh great, there's people in my area keeping blight alive. How am I supposed to keep my chestnut trees from getting sick because of you?

What an awesome presentation, can't wait for spring, the hunt is on!

Awesome, I missed it so happy to have a chance to catch up :)

I enjoyed watching this and I learned a lot about yellow birch in Ontario!

Very, very good presentation. So much information. I love it.

Not a good idea nothing darling about it

So the red pine thinning would be 5000 per hectare and the landowner could potentially get 105000 for that thinning on 21 hectares correct?

Just super thanks for all the information

Good job Guys

How about working on a GMO variant? Use some of this RNA technology to save the butternut.

Great presentation! I have driven by the giant Merrickville Rock Elm a thousand times and I never realized what it was, even though I knew about other Rock Elms in the area. I can't wait to take a fresh look at it next time I pass by.

Thank you for this video, I learned many things. I came here bc I have a huge butternut tree in my back yard and the green pods have started to fall. Did you want some to grow?

Canucks worried about Covid on a butternut hunt. 🙄

Goals if i live that long.

Excellent video!

I have a friend that has a huge chestnut tree in her yard. I will have to find out if it’s a Chinese, but it’s way bigger than Chinese chestnut trees. I’ve been trying to get them established on my property. I’d love to send a pic. I’ve wondered if it was a Northern Forest timber Chinese chestnut?

Great video! Very educational. Well worth my time.Thank you.

I love what you are doing there! That’s going to be the work of a lifetime!

oh what a lovely video! I share your love. Also discovered your blog...a reflection called "Nayirah al-Sabah: where is she now? " Yes, we forget...grateful for the search engine. I wish you great happiness, friend I've never met, who somehow filled me with much needed hope, today.

That was super interesting!! I didn’t realize they were working on a 100% American Chestnut blight resistant tree, that’s very exciting! I had assumed they were working on a Chinese cross with a high percentage of native genes! I know that the Americans have been working on a GMO tree that’s 100% American Chestnut plus blight resistance, would we ever consider crossing our best trees from the breeding program with the resistant modified tree from the USA?

Totally fascinating. If we can group small landowners together and mass our acres of forest we could all benefit.

This is wonderful to see. As an old photo interp guy, the spatial distribution was always dificult to fully describe using the VERT HORIZ structure fields. I imaging this is still a challenge to fully encompass given forest variability and the limits of LiDAR and species ID... :) great presentation!

Excellent, I really enjoy these walks.

First time seeing this. I have a woodlot as well, Niagara chapter. Have many walnut trees. So many stories to share.

Great presentation, thanks Ben.

A wonderful tree farm. Can see owners pride and care of the property.

Thank you for taking the time to make this Woodland Walk and Talk series. It is always a treat when I see a new episode come up. Always nice to learn from others and to see their aspirations for their land. I sit back, relax and enjoy the video. The only constructive comment I would offer is of a technical nature. I find that the sound quality and volume varies a lot. Even with the volume all the way up, there are some parts of the video where I cannot make out what is being said. Thank you to Dave and Gabrielle Ferguson for inviting us and walking us around. Looking forward to the next one.

Lots of info. I'm going to have to watch a couple more times to comprehend it all!

Larry knows his stuff.... learned quite a bit! Well done OWA.

Thank You . . .

Thank you for a great presentation - I don't get out as much as I used to so these walks are very welcome. Also, great to see such smooth camera work, very professional.

Love your show!!!! I grow pure BN and 4 others and would like to discuss with you

thank you for a fine tour of the farm . all the best .

Great camera work!

thanks for a very interesting visit. Really enjoy these videos and the different approaches that different land owners will take. I always pick-up a few gems from each episode.

Great work! Constructive criticism, the callus is what initially forms after wounding, then it differentiates to form into woundwood. So the wound is being "sealed" not healed by woundwood. Tree's don't heal, they seal and try to mitigate or stop the spread of decay. I know you know but just too not spread poor terms to people learning. Also those of you who don't know then Alex Shigo has some great books. I also commend you for the work you are doing and hope I'm alive to see a semi mature American Chestnut from one of your trials. Thanks

Awe this is so cute!!

Thank you for the great tour Andy. People think I am nuts for spending most of my free time doing basic what you do so either we are nuts or they are I'm not sure haha
