They were both planted in 1949. In August of 2018, the tallest of the two was measured at 28.36 meters in height and 46.8 cm d...

Re: West Point Foundry Preserve
I worked on the non-native invasive plant control program in Rock Creek National Park during one summer a while back. I believe we considered Norway maple one of our invasives that we were treating for. I believe it was outcompleting native maple species in the area. Even in forest interior areas. N...

Civil War Witness Trees
For three days in July, 1863, two great armies collided on the fields of Gettysburg. It remains the bloodiest battle in U.S. history. And, improbably, 155 years later, there are still living witnesses to that moment in time: The trees. Across 6,000 acres of Gettysburg National Military Park, ranger...

Re: Serious industrial hemp movement gathering momentum
Three cheers for the already-passed-in-both-chambers-of-Congress farm bill! Among many other actions, when President Trump signs it into law it will permanently protect from all forms of development 20,000 acres of wilderness under the Wilderness Act of 1964 in Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest, ...
