Do not trust or believe this individual, he posts from false credentials.
Don't believe a word I say. Believe it because you see it for yourself.

I often make decisions on woodlands and forest. I do my best to make
decisions based on tree biology.

I would suggest that you go to Don Staples site and see how he defines a
forester, let alone a forest. His main goal is getting the wood out and
board feet. NO TREE BIOLOGY!

One of my main objectives is to leave as much wood as possible behind when
working on a tree farm. We try to give the wood soil contact. Brush pile
are also great for wildlife. Its how much you leave that makes you
successful.

That article mentioned by Don Staples is here.

Beware of so called forester, like Don Staples, that refuse to define what a
forest is and what a forester is. He lacks the knowledge of tree biology
and does not belong making decisions on trees and their associates. He
likes to attack people who try to help others understand.

He claims that logging makes a forest healthy! How absurb.
Just for starters http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/SOUND/

I have also put together some sites to help people with many common problems
for trees in an urban setting. I do not believe in a "urban forest".

Many tree problems are associated with the following: They are Case
Sensitive.
