Comment on Forestry can create ‘ten million new jobs’ by M. D. Vaden Portland Landscape & Tree

Even though I don’t know many of the details, this sounds very believable.

It’s crossed my thoughts lately that our culure here should invest more labor in parks.

Planting trees fits that theme and benefits.

Comment on Trees: More than just carbon sinks by M. D. Vaden of Oregon

For the few folks who believe they might die before a tree bears fruit, if they plant the tree, it seems all they need to hear about are some of us.

I’ve planted fruit trees and eaten fruit like apples from them, in as little as 3 years. And I’m still breathing.

Comment on Mangroves ‘won’t stop tsunami’ by Alexander M Kerr

Alexander M Kerr — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:24:21 +0000

Sorry takecover08,

i was responding to Deane of forestpolicy”research” and his Quixotic suggestion that mitigation by mangroves of the tsunami is invalidated by rhetorical jibes like “who benefits from such analysis?”. Unfortunately, i totally buggered the force of my argument by not specifying the object of my criticism: The well-meaning spew from one Deane of forestpolicyresearch.org. Im continually stunned in my dealings with justifiably passionate souls by the prevalence of the belief that disagreement per se is prima facie evidence of bias. Still, I categorically reject the alluring hypothesis that Deane and is ilk are just being jerks. So check it out: this leaves a far more interesting and parsimonious hypothesis, that we have a hardwire issue at play here: ALL of us given circumstances of sufficient emotional investment in our everyday life can (nay, often do) respond just as our dear colleague Deane has, with the certainty that those who disagree must in principle be wrong. This should give us all pause as we scan the news channels tonight. The original empirical issue, of whether mangroves mitigated impacts of the 2004 tsunami, remains unaddressed.

Hello.

I am a tree surgeon working in Cambridgeshire, and was wondering if there are any useful links or contacts you may have to lead me toward some work in this area? Is there anyone you may be able to put me into contact with who could help me?

Speculative request, but you never know….

Many Thanks.

Simon.

Comment on Battle on to save Scotland’s red squirrels by Flanker

Hands off the adorable gray squirrels, you despicable barbarians in Great Britain! The real reason you barbarians kill those beautiful-in-and-out animals is your animosity toward the American people. You barbarians consider those valuable animals the AMERICAN INVASION! The gray squirrels DO NOT eradicate the super-adorable red squirrels. Red squirrels simply run away from the grays, as the latter are stronger genetically. The way to preserve the reds is to focus ON THEM, not to focus murderously on the grays. The number one killer of the squirrels are the bandit-drivers on the streets and roads. Conduct an educational campaign for them to stop killing squirrels. Put up “STOP for squirrels” road signs. Exterminate natural killer of squirrels – raccoons, hawks, falcons, eagles, etc. Protect and feed everywhere the adorable squirrels; ALL OF THEM!

You are lucky squirrel-murdering bandits I don’t live in your decadent country. If I caught you killing squirrels, it would be YOU who would be hunted by me, after being given one warning to stop.

Comment on A short break… by Gail Zawacki

Hi! I just found your website from searching about horsechestnut decline. I have started a blog about tree decline in the Eastern US, which appears to be affecting all species and ages of trees here. I’d be interested in your thoughts on the matter and I’m really excited to check out all the links you have listed.

Regards,
Gail
