In Indiana, USA our governor has imposed a stay at home order with travel only to essential stores and services permitted. As a homeowner and woodworker, I adapted quite well to the order. In the last couple of months, I have processed every bit of wood destined for wood specimens — thousands of them. They are now all cut, sanded, labeled and re-shelved in alphabetical order. My for sale list increased from 17 to 27 pages. I never had to leave my shop and my letter carrier will pick up orders. Spring has arrived and brought with it dozens of outdoor tasks. An amateur woodworker/full time landscaper contacted me stating that she was laid off and I immediately put her to work cleaning flower beds, trimming hedges and bushes, mowing the lawn and mulching. I’m in the process of removing dirty gravel from my driveways and applying new limestone. Soon I’ll have a lawn to be proud of. I go to bed happy but tired — certainly not lonely and depressed. Then we have the September AGM in Alpena, Michigan, USA to look forward to. The board and I are already working on proposals for the business meeting. Northern Michigan will be beautiful with fall colors on display. Christine and I plan on going on the self-guided lighthouse tour and make the ferry trip to Mackinac Island — no cars on this Island. If you haven’t already done so, send in your registration. Dennis and Tamara Wilson have been hard at work with preparations. Be assured that if it becomes necessary to cancel the meet, you will be fully refunded. The business of the IWCS continues as usual. Final preparations for the new Directory are underway and the 2020- 21 budget has just been approved. Dennis Wilson will take the helm as President at the September AGM. Rick Long #9978 from Alabama will run for Vice President, unopposed unless someone else has interest. Rejean Drouin, #6683 has stepped in as our new Canadian Trustee. Thanks, Rejean! This leaves us in urgent need of two positions: President Elect and All Mail Auction Coordinator. It is also past time to come up with a venue and hosts for the 2021 AGM. Please contact me or your trustee if you have interest; we will be happy to provide you with details. 2020 Lake Yale, Florida Woodfest (WoW March/April 2020) — Correction by Art Lee #7984L Thank you to Rick Long for pointing out an error on page 20 in my article about the 2020 Lake Yale meeting. Nevada Rye was misidentified as making both the pecan brittle and almond bark. Nevada did make the pecan brittle; how- ever, Pam Munger has been making and donating the almond bark for the craft auctions at several meetings, which has brought in significant income for the Society. Thank you, Pam! A Note to Contributors Please submit articles as you complete them. They could be placed into future editions so each edition will present a balance of topics. Last minute changes before June 15 for the July/August 2020 issue. May/June 2020 World of Wood 3 Wildlife and Forest Conservation Challenges in Thailand Lon Grassman, PhD #10295 Texas A&M University-Kingsville, USA I am a carnivore biologist/conservationist who spent about 15 years conducting research in Thailand in the 1990s-2000s. Thailand has some unique challenges to wildlife and forest conservation, and I highlight a few examples in this article. My carnivore research focused on the wild cat community, which had received very little attention prior to the 1990s. I used live-trapping, radio-tracking, diet analysis, and camera-trapping to study several felid species, including tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, golden cat, marbled cat and leopard cat. From this research, I was able to ascertain forest use and home range sizes for these species, as well as prey preferences. In general, radio-tracked cats used dry and hill evergreen forests the most, as these forest types dominated (75%) my study site in north-central Thailand. Mixed deciduous, dry dipterocarp, bamboo and grasslands, formed the remainder of the vegetative community. Prey preference was varied for most small to medium-sized cats with assorted species ranging from mouse-size to small deer. Larger cats such as leopard and tiger were limited to select larger species such as deer and wild boar. Hill evergreen forest typical of Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Radio collared clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) Chaiyaphum Province Clouded leopards have the longest canines of all wild cats, relative Anesthetized black leopard (Panthera pardus) in hill to body size.

Habitat affected: this disease thrives in cool, wet climates including areas in coastal California within the fog belt or in low- lying forested areas along stream beds and other bodies of water. Oaks associated with understory species that are susceptible to foliar infections are at higher risk of becoming infected. 2. Host plants: Forty-five hosts are regulated for this disease. These hosts have been found naturally infected by P. ramorum and have had Koch’s postulates completed, reviewed and accepted. Approximately fifty-nine species are associated with Phytophthora ramorum. These species are found naturally infected; P. ramorum has been cultured or detected with PCR but Koch’s postulates have not been completed or documented and reviewed. Northern red oak (Quercus rubra) is considered an associated host. See end of document for complete list of plant hosts.

Abies canadensis Synonym—Hemlock spruce. CONSTITUENTS— Tannic acid, resin, volatile oil. Canada pitch, or gum hemlock, is the prepared concrete juice of the pinus canadensis. The juice exudes from the tree, and is collected by boiling the bark in water, or boiling the hemlock knots, which are rich in resin. It is composed of one or more resins, and a minute quantity of volatile oil. Canada pitch of commerce is in reddish-brown, brittle masses, of a faint odor, and slight taste. Oil of hemlock is obtained by distilling the branches with water. It is a volatile liquid, having a terebinthinate odor and taste. PREPARATIONS— Canada Pitch Plaster Tincture of the fresh hemlock boughs Tincture of the fresh inner bark. Specific Medicine Pinus. Dose, from five to sixty minims. The hemlock spruce produces three medicines; the gum, used in the form of a plaster as a rubifacient in rheumatism and kindred complaints; the volatile oil—oil of hemlock—or a tincture of the fresh boughs, used as a diuretic in diseases of the urinary organs, and wherever a terebinthinate remedy is indicated; and a tincture of the fresh inner bark, an astringent with specific properties, used locally, and internally in catarrh.

  • Invasive Trees of Georgia Pub10-14
    Pub. No. 39 October 2016 Invasive Trees of Georgia by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Georgia has many species of trees. Some are native trees and some have been introduced from outside the state, nation, or continent. Most of Georgia’s trees are well- behaved and easily develop into sustainable shade and street trees. A few tree species have an extrodinary ability to upsurp resources and take over sites from other plants. These trees are called invasive because they effectively invade sites, many times eliminat- ing other species of plants. There are a few tree species native to Georgia which are considered invasive in other parts of the country. These native invasives, may be well-behaved in Georgia, but reproduce and take over sites elsewhere, and so have gained an invasive status from at least one other invasive species list. Table 1. There are hundreds of trees which have been introduced to Georgia landscapes. Some of these exotic / naturalized trees are considered invasive. The selected list of Georgia invasive trees listed here are notorious for growing rampantly and being difficult to eradicate. Table 2.

  • Cinnamomum Camphora) in Eastern Australia Brett J
    Chapter 14—Australia’s Ever-changing Forests VI: Proceedings of the Eighth National Conference on Australian Forest History. Brett J. Stubbs et al. (ed.). © 2012, ISBN 978-0-9757906-2-5 Saviour to Scourge: a history of the introduction and spread of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) in eastern Australia Brett J. Stubbs School of Environmental Science and Management, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW 2480 Introduction The 50th year commemorative book of Wyrallah Road Public School, in Lismore, New South Wales, records the lopping of camphor trees bordering the school grounds as a ‘milestone’ for 1999. In similar spirit, at Bexhill Public School near Lismore, on World Forestry Day, 26 March 2004, children were told about the need to remove camphor trees and replace them with native species. Palmwoods State School received a Queensland Arbor Day Award in 2005 for the removal from its grounds of an old camphor tree and the transformation of the stump into an artistic wood carving. It is highly incongruous that trees planted in school yards many years before to provide shade and shelter for children, and to beautify their environment, are now being destroyed, not because they are old and unsafe or have grown inconveniently big, but because of a prevailing attitude akin to revulsion which has developed towards the species. The foregoing are just a few examples of the present-day quest for the elimination of camphor trees from the landscape—a quest which is pursued with as much zeal and vigour in parts of eastern Australia as that to reinstate the region’s lost rainforest.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

This has led to many of the tropical forests viable alternative in many of WWF’s priority places. being plundered for these highly prized species. Even in forests where there are good levels of forest management, there is a risk of a shift in species composition Markets are hard to change, as buyers from consumer countries often aren’t in natural forest stands. This over-exploitation can also dissuade many forest willing to switch from purchasing the traditional species which they know do managers from obtaining Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for the job for the products that they are used in, and for which there is already their concessions, as many of these high value species are rarely available in a healthy market.
