Where did you get your botany or forestry degree from?

That's a good question for Rick Santorum. Opps thats right, he got removed.
Oh well!

Never in the history of humankind have so many people talked and written so
much about what they know so little about- the environment.

The only way to understand internal defects is to dissect trees and to touch
all parts. People who have not done this should not talk about trees.



Too many people talk too much about what they have not touched.



People who have never dissected trees should not be allowed to talk about
trees.



People who haven't dug out tree roots or dissected trees should not be
allowed to talk about trees.



How many forestry schools actually teach about tree biology?



The Mississippi Valley Laboratory in St. Louis was established in 1899. Dr.
Herman von Schrenk was the director. Studies on wood decay and discoloration
were done mostly. In time, the studies drifted toward wood products. In 1907
the lab was discontinued and the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wisconsin took over. The major focus of the lab was on wood products decay.
Tree biology never had a chance.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
