My mom always told me my name was special coming from the Swedish side of my family and being the Swedish national flower. I’d never seen it until I was on a wildflower hike in Oregon and the whole forest floor was Linnea borealis! Not a little waif in that setting!

Hello All, It’s great to see the results of all your hard work.. Congratulations!
Good luck with the deer…what a pest they are.
If you need more seeds we have quite a seed bank as our organization grows. Let us know what you’re looking for and we might have it.
We’re working on a webpage but we do have a Facebook page if you’re curious about what we’re doing.
Have a good summer :-)

No, I’m not here to ask about the pond’s location. I just want to congratulate you on your find! My Dad taught me to fish for bass in the river, and I’d like to compliment you as well for your style of writing.

My 15 year old Tulip poplars are flowering like crazy!

What a great example of sustainable building! Cordwood construction is such an inspiring use of forestry byproducts—both practical and beautiful. It’s amazing to see how traditional skills like these are being passed on through hands-on workshops.

I have always been impressed with Lee’s reliance on science. He is extremely reluctant to make a statement that he cannot support with data. I am also a retired biologist who spent my career working in Maine’s north woods.

Great article on a dedicated wildlife biologist and moose. This is from a retired NYDEC wildlife biologist who spent a lot of time working on furbearers and moose.

Each year of growth has a pair of rings, one light and one dark ring. You might want to clarify the story by saying each dark and light ring pair is one year of growth. The second paragraph starts off with “each ring corresponds with one year of growth” and this could lead some to double count. Start at the center of the tree and count each dark ring is a common way to age trees. Adding additional years for the tree to get to the point where you bored is a routine practice.
Otherwise I enjoyed the article.

Years ago I would hike on an abandoned old county road in western Maine before the hardwood leaves unfurled and listen to black-throated blue and black- throated green warlers. I would scan the tree tops with the naked eye, then bring up my binoculars for a grand look at one. Oh, those were the days.

Found this sapling growing on a fence line in my yard. Hoping to replant in a better growing spot, hopefully it works.

Alyssa, I enjoyed your article on tree rings. However, you wrote in the first paragraph “new wood is added year after year to the cambium” when I’m sure you meant to write “by the cambium”. It makes a huge difference in understanding how tree rings come about.

I have never seen these beauties around my house before but this year they are in abundance. So beautiful. They are enjoying the black sunflower seeds I leave out daily . They are accompanied buy the little yellow sparrow songbirds and the red winged blackbirds.
