    they would fit in really well in tropical themed gardens.

    Perfect timing! I was just wondering how to identify a Western Red Cedar this morning. Thanks

    I live on the coast of Washington. Beautiful place. Can you do a video on the coast ecosystem? I live on Ocean Shores and my backyard is the bay so I gather stuff around here for my new Hugelkulture HugelKelp experiment. I am documenting it and am going to make a video. I put a tiny bit of rotten red cedar broken up in it. Hope it's okay. With all the seaweed I figure it will soak it up and keep it a long time.
    So We have a greenbelt with a ton of Red Alder and old sticker bush giant dead things. I have been chipping up so many branches and using those too.
    Is it okay if I am using mostly red alder logs for Hugelkulture? We have fir too but not as much rotten I see around. We have some fresh cut logs next door. They just sold the lot but took the branches before I could get everything I wanted. Arg
    Can u also talk about using red alder in the beds and how it works with mycelium? I am interested in innoculating my garden with mushroom spawn on the woodchips. Is chipped old dead stickerbush branches okay? These things are like an inch diameter and in a marshy area. Seem dead a long time. Fungus on the bottom. Dry as a bone. Maybe sub and see where I am talking about. You have most likely been to Ocean Shores

    thanks for making & sharing this fun video full of information 😊
    I noticed you are using the past tense when speaking about first nations/indigenous communities using cedar to make things, but it’s something that’s still happening today. Indigenous communities are still here today, living on the land! Some are harvesting cedar bark from live trees for weaving, others are carving the wood into canoes, masks, bentwood boxes etc and the knowledge is being shared and remembered and slowly re-integrating into their communities.

    You mean colder and wetter summers not hotter and dryer. It has been getting colder year now as we are in a solar minimum.

    • @NerdyAboutNature
      @NerdyAboutNature 3 года назад +4

      Mmm actually the trends here in Cascadia anyways are hotter and drier, consistently, which is why we keep having reoccuring fire seasons that are increasingly more destructive than years prior, and why these trees are drying out.

      Willamette Valley, (Linn County, where my 80-acres is located); hotter/drier and beginning earlier in the year, as well as lasting longer into the "Fall." Most definitely not cooler/wetter!

    I'm gunna leant some. As I did when I was a kid. Buuuuuutttt. If it has a disease or is dead standing it's dangerous. So then it should be harvested.

    • @lpeterman

      Snags, (standing dead/dying) trees are critter hotels and CRITICAL for habitat.
      There are literally hundreds of species which require standing hollow trees for shelter and food.
      If it's in the forest, not near a building or well-traveled trail, LEAVE 'EM ALONE!

    The answer is to plant more. Not super complicated

    • @lpeterman
      @lpeterman 2 месяца назад

      Nope -- plant SOME in areas they will be sustained.
      (In Linn County, Oregon, Western Reds are dying by the score, no amount of replanting will change with the current hotter/drier dynamic.) Planting "more" without proper planning is not a good idea; just a waste of time, money and seedlings.

    Ecopolitical chats are really important. Here in Victoria, Australia, 98% of the loss of our Old Growth forests is due to bushfires. Your video sounds like all Old Growth Red Cedar has been lost due to logging - which no doubt much has. Do you know how much has been lost due to fires? The root of the problem over here is that we are not addressing the significant (98%) problem and focus all our attention on logging (1-2%) as the problem. Traditional burning practices were keeping these fires at bay and we are only just beginning to understand how important they are in mitigating large-scale wildfires. Thanks for your presentation!

    My area is dominated by Ponderosa Pine and to a lesser extent, Incense Cedar and Sugar Pine. Near the water Douglas Fir makes an appearance but it won’t stray far from the river. Very rarely, we have Western Red Cedar and Giant Sequoia. The Western Reds are exceedingly rare, but they stand out very well by creating contrast with the surrounding forest.
    If there was no such thing as Douglas Fir, Red Cedar would definitely be my favorite tree. That giant that you filmed near was jaw dropping.

    Those strips aren't from taking wood from the tree! That's from people taking strips of bark for basket weaving! Get your facts straight.
