Tree TalK By Gary Martin “A Place That Has To Be Believed To Be Seen”

How’s it going this month! Happy new Year! Seems like a new year can get me thinking about time and trees, so how about if we go to a place that I’ve seen. Music trivia is: where does our talk title come from? Mr. Webster defines “place” as a particular point in space. Let’s go to parts of the forest within the Upper Omak Creek Project. Remember our “twelve years after” talk, about the good looking commercial thinning that happened in the forest. I hinted that I was seeing another interesting sitiuation that’s making me smile. Twelve years ago, we did a number of “clearcuts”. The big objective of this treatment was (and is) to start a new forest stand by planting trees. I remember seeing these forest places, before the 1992 logging. Generally, they were unhealthy stands of Douglas-fir with various degrees of mistletoe disease and insect situations. Our goal was to start over, by planting Ponderosa pine and Western larch. We had a “place” in mind and we “believed” we could get there in the future. Twelve years later, I’ve “seen” what has happened. These plantations are looking real good! Our photos don’t do justice to how the trees look in person. Spring and fall, are good times to visit these new stands. The light green larch needles in the spring and the yellow needles in the fall, really jump out at you. At this point in time, these points in space have lots of nice young trees, that are relatively free of diseases and insects. The trees will soon be ready for pre- commercial thinning. I’m thinking that our original goal has been achieved, BIG TIME! Very cool! Another part of our objective back in 1992 was to keep the “clearcuts” relatively small in size. This is a high impact treatment and if it didn’t work out, we wanted the “place” to be “small”. So we went with an average size of 15 acres. I’m glad that things “worked out”. In 2006, we are scheduling similar treatments right next to some of these plantations. The treatment is now called “regeneration with reserve trees (RRT)”. The overall goal is still the same; to start a new forest stand by planting trees. We’ll do another 15-20 acre area and plant pine and larch. Our objective is to duplicate, replicate, and imitate what was done in 1992 with the same good success rate. If all goes well and thin. Wouldn’t that be cool to see. thing, has to be seen to be believed. we’re talking again in 2018, we’ll In case I’m not around, someone I like how Bono changed the order of have a nice size (30-40 acres) stand please get some photos and tell me words around to give new meaning to of trees aged 12 to 26 years young. how it looks.

The Pima Indian from the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona was a member of the 28th Marine Regiment when they landed on Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945.

His brothers and sisters were sent either to an orphanage, or to live with relatives. In 1942, he tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps, then the Paratroopers, but neither outfit would have him. He finally joined the Infantry, and was assigned to the 5th Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division in north Africa, which was preparing to invade Sicily. After Sicily, he later fought at Salerno, Anzio, Rome, and France. When World War II ended, he was the nation’s most decorated soldier. He received 28 medals, including three from France and one from Belgium, and he still hadn’t reached his 21st birthday. He later became an actor, and in 1971 he died in the crash of a private plane near Roanoke, Virginia. Following his burial at Arlington in 1971, so many people visited his grave that a special flagstone walkway was constructed to accommodate the crowds. His government regulation headstone lists just some of his medals, because it is not large enough to show his 28 medals, which includes the Congressional Medal of Honor!
