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.








And the answer to the degree question is? I don't have one, eh?
