I got 7 acres in pope county , shawnee national park on 2 sides, how do I find a expert that can identify rare trees on my land? so I can protect and manage my property properly .
@@swayback7375 well actually I think they do try their best. when I first went to the property they introduced me to a section of shooting stars on my land. they told me how special they are. and I need to protect them. I am from perry county. so that was a flower I have not seen before. then I started to notice all the other trees that I have just never seen before in illinois. I have tried to learn more online. but I do think that the main reason people don't protect more species in illinois is just a lack of knowledge. they just need like a awareness day in illinois for endangered plants. some of the research I have done has inspired me to start a small nursery. I would like to make some of these species rare in illinois a little more accessible to people who want them on their land. thanks and let's do are best to protect illinois
Do you know of any old sorbus domestica in Stewardson, Illinois ? I see that location has a sorbus domestica .Unsure of age or exact location. can you help locate? I ask because i found a sorbus domestica in northern wi . i wish to confirm identification because it seems to be a posible native or hybrid and i am looking for a link to some older tree because this one is on a bog. Blooms in june and is not an american sorbus. I know domestic can root grow easily. I known of this tree in wi for 50 yrs. i would age it at aprox 100 yrs but becaus of the regenerative quality it maybe 80 -beyond 100 yrs.
@@illinoisextensionforestry602 I would assume most river islands are wetlands. I would also think logging these trees would cause the islands to erode away. or at least that has been my observation in the past. I have lived on the Rock River for over 50 years. I think we need some new rules and/or enforcement of the ones we already have.
I find buckthorn incredibly easy to remove, I use an ax to separate the stump from the roots, and then I pull the shallow roots up , I have less than 1% recidivism rate
Correct, European larch (Larix decidua) is not native to the United States. Tamarack or American larch (Larix laricina) is native to Illinois. The species covered here in this video is American larch.

You should call your Illinois Department of Natural Resources district forester to discuss your forest. They can point you in the right direction.
Thank you sir.
@@illinoisextensionforestry602 thanks for this!
Great presentation

Gum Bully easy to grow from seed?
I do not know actually. It requires a specialized habitat type and conditions to grow, which would be important to consider when trying to grow them.
Is it legal to log Islands in the river's ?
There are no specific rules against logging islands but if the trees are in a wetland, then there are wetland protections in place.

I have fought European buckthorn for 30 years,. I am still pulling them. Illiterate neighbors.
Fire and a diversity of competing species will keep it down to a minimum

European larch is not native to the USA let alone Illinois I think you confused that with the American larch

@@illinoisextensionforestry602 yeah I know that but in the video he said European larch
