I recognize that the Department went through some challenging times recently, as the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources struggled to reorganize and redefine department boundaries. In my view, the upheaval and strained relationships caused by the proposed restructuring would have been too great a cost to pay for changes that would have yielded negligible or no increase in administrative efficiency. But that era is in the past. I would rather focus on the future. CANR has made a number of investments in Forestry—investments that originate from the confidence that we have in the De- partment’s faculty and leadership. CANR’s most substantial investments are repre- sented by the hiring of two new tenure-track faculty members: Dr. Jessica Miesel and Dr. Phoebe Zarnetske. CANR and AgBioResearch also have made substantial investments in lab renovations and development of online courses. In a state that is 55% forested and in a world that is increasingly discovering the important con- tributions of forests to human well-being and environmental quality, it is hard to imagine how MSU could fulfill its land grant mission without a Department that is focused on forests. My optimism is bolstered by the Department of Forestry’s innovation and assump- tion of a leading role in CANR and MSU. An overhauled undergraduate curricu- lum, in effect Fall 2013 semester, has attracted healthy Freshman and Sophomore cohorts, reversing a trend of declining enrollments. The Department also created a new program to attract and retain high-achieving undergraduates, the Forests Forever Scholars Program, which leveraged more than $44,000 in matching schol- arships from the Provost’s Office in the program’s first year. An important addition to the graduate curriculum is the new certificate in Forest Carbon Science, Policy and Management, the first of its kind in the US and perhaps the world. The Forest Carbon Certificate will be offered fully online during the 2013-14 academic year, enabling students from throughout the world to enroll. Please know that the Department of Forestry has my full backing. Thank you for all of your contributions to this proud Department and for your continued support.

As detailed in this issue of the Michigan State Forester, the Department of Forestry has taken several steps to strength- en that core. We overhauled our undergraduate curriculum. The new curriculum is at the forefront of knowledge for future forestry professionals and leaders. At the same time that we are highlighting hands-on teaching and learning, we are mak- ing an effort to increase online instruction. This may seem to run counter to the grain of hands-on learning. However, these approaches complement each other in important ways. First, good online teaching IS interactive and often requires students to answer questions, solve problems, or collect ‘field specimens’ with a camera before moving on to the next lesson. In addition, using online lessons to cover fundamentals frees up time for hands-on learning. We are excited about the creative potential that online instruction offers. Rapid progress in our undergraduate program has been facilitated by establishing a Direc- tor of Undergraduate Studies. DR. LARRY LEEFERS served as director for the first year of the position and did a fantastic job of re-invigorating our undergraduate program on several fronts: curriculum, recruitment, scholarships, and marketing. DR. DAVE MAC- FARLANE is continuing this work and has provided crucial leadership in implementing our new curriculum. For the first time in our 110 year history (to my knowledge), the Department of Forestry has a dedicated Undergraduate Academic Advisor. MR. Walter Chomentowski, who holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Forestry, started this position in January and has made great strides in providing our current and future undergraduate students advice on schol- 2013 MSU FOrestry PHOTO Winner arships, course schedules, internships, and careers. A major thrust of our recruiting efforts is the Forests Forever Scholars Program, which provides outstanding students renewable scholarships and opportunities to develop as leaders. I am delighted that in the first year of Forests Forever program, we have an in- coming cohort of eight outstanding new freshman and sophomore Scholars, coming from as far away as California and Nevada. It is a wonderful time to be a Forestry major at Michigan State University. We have an exciting, cutting edge program with dedicated faculty, outstanding students, and gener- ous scholarship support. Our current enrollment is ~45 students. Our goal is to reach 100 students after three years under the new curriculum. And I am asking for your help in keeping this momentum going. Please direct outstanding high school students our way! All my best, DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY | 5 | letter FROM FAA President DEAR FOLkS, I just returned from a week-long fishing trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and I marvel at this wonderful natural resource base! Forests, lakes, mountains, swamps, barren plains and all sorts of wonders to behold. There are mosquitoes, too, lots of ‘em, but they add to the ‘adventure’ that comes from spending time and enjoying the unique outdoor setting. It makes me proud to have pursued a career in natural resource management—not that I had a lot to do with managing the resource attributes in the Upper Peninsula—but that I was part of an undeterminable number of men and women who followed similar pathways and through study, hard work, and mountains of dedication were able to forge careers protecting and managing and utilizing these awe-inspiring realms, not just in Michigan, but throughout the world. I’m proud to be a forester! I get that same kind of ‘proud’ feeling while sitting at the luncheon for the Forestry Graduating Seniors hosted by the MSU Forestry Alumni Association (FAA) in order to congratulate the graduating seniors on their successful completion of obtaining a degree in Forestry. I take comfort in their energy, enthusiasm, their wide-spread ac- complishments and their desire to move out beyond the campus and find their niche in some aspect of Forestry. I feel proud, too, of the many men and women who help instruct, encourage and nurture these students during their time at Michigan State University. The efforts of professors, associate professors, instructors, staff and support personnel, and many others, yield BIG DIVIDENDS for the future of the students as well as for the well-being of the natural resource base. To that end, therefore, I feel privileged to work with RiCh Kobe, the Forestry Depart- ment Chairman, in order to provide support, encouragement, and advice from the FAA. Rich has the enthusiasm and desire to see the Forestry Department make long strides from the nearly catastrophic events of two years ago where the Department was on the verge of elimination. Your FAA Officers and Chairman Kobe have established a sys- tem of regular meetings that are designed to hash-out ideas, discuss priorities, provide feed-back and enhance communication between alumni and the Forestry Department. The first two meetings were filled with great discussion and forward-thinking opportu- nities! More to come on that front to be sure. In addition, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Alumni Association (CANRAA) Board has asked for a representative from the FAA to serve as an ‘ex-officio’ member…we’re going to do that…and that can be another opportunity to network with other alumni organizations to share ideas, experiences, and opportunities to build suc- cess. 6 | WINTER 2013 That’s where YOU become a very important person. Your ideas and input are a necessary attribute to support the future of the Forestry Department and the FAA. I encourage you to check out the MSU Forestry website (www.for.msu.edu) which features an ‘Alumni Section’, and feel free to send me your ideas for making FAA a better, stronger, and more responsive organization. Feel free to contact me at: [email protected] with ideas, suggestions, and offers to help.

  • In Ashley County, Arkansas
    . .".. Five Years of Change in an Old-Growth Pine-Hardwood Remnant in Ashley County, Arkansas USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, P.O. Box 3516 UAM; Monticello, AR 71656 Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract.-The Levi Wilcoxon Demonstration Forest near Hamburg, Arkansas is an industrially-owned remnant of old-growth pine and hardwodds. Some of the loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) and shortleaf (Pinus echinata Mill.) pine in this stand are over 200 years old, and numerous individuals exceed 90 cm in diameter and 30 m in height. A 2000 survey of a portion of this tract found that 27 tree species contributed an average of 387.5 live stemsiha and 31.8 m2/haof basal area. An inventory of the same plots in 2006 yielded noticeable declines in density (now down to 342.5 stemslha) and basal area (now 28.2 m2/ha). Much of this loss came in the aftermath of a windstorm in May 2003, which felled a number of overstory pines. Loblolly pine decreased from 49.6 stemslha and 13.2 m2/ha in 2000 to 42.1 trees/ha and 11.2 m2/ha in 2006, while shortleaf pine declined from 21.7 treeslha and 5.0 mz/ha to 14.6 trees/ha and 3.5 m2/ha. Further pine mortality came from smaller-scale windthrow, lightning, and bark beetle infestations. Some hardwoods were also toppled by storms or crushed by falling trees, but most appear to have succumbed to drought, competition, and salvage logging. However, hardwood basal area remained virtually unchanged over this period, signifying adequate diameter growth and midstory recruitment.

  • Florida Forest Service James R. Karels, State Forester
    Florida Forest Service James R. Karels, State Forester The forest needs of Florida’s citizens are much greater than many realize, often impacting our lives in ways that we may not always see. It is estimated that the average person utilizes 40 products a day that are derived from the forest. This not only includes the obvious products such as lumber and paper, but items such as toothpaste, ice cream, film, cellophane, tape, adhesives, and enhancements for many of the foods we eat and drink. There are well over 5,000 different products that come from forests. Of course, there are many other benefits we derive from forests, such as clean air, clean water, recreation and an enhanced environment. Currently the forest industry is the leading agricultural industry in Florida and second only to tourism in total impact on the state’s economy. The timber industry also provides numerous jobs, outdoor recreation opportunities for millions of visitors each year. Forestry is about balancing the ecological, social and economic needs of our state. Educating our citizens about proper forest management practices will help ensure that forests will be healthy and that the forest industry remains a viable commodity for future generations. The purpose of this book is to reach out to our youth to teach them good forestry practices.

  • Eastern Hemlock Information
    http://www.cnr.vt.edu/DENDRO/DENDROLOGY/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=116 USDAFS Silvics of North America Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr. Eastern Hemlock Pinaceae -- Pine family R. M. Godman and Kenneth Lancaster Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), also called Canada hemlock or hemlock spruce, is a slow- growing long-lived tree which unlike many trees grows well in shade. It may take 250 to 300 years to reach maturity and may live for 800 years or more. A tree measuring 76 inches in diameter at breast height (dbh) and 175 feet tall is among the largest recorded. Hemlock bark was once the source of tannin for the leather industry; now the wood is important to the pulp and paper industry. Many species of wildlife benefit from the excellent habitat that a dense stand of hemlock provides. This tree also ranks high for ornamental planting. Habitat Native Range The northern limit of eastern hemlock extends from outliers in northeastern Minnesota and the western one-third of Wisconsin eastward through northern Michigan, south-central Ontario, extreme southern Quebec, through New Brunswick, and all of Nova Scotia. Within the United States the species is found throughout New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and the middle Atlantic States, extending westward from central New Jersey to the Appalachian Mountains, then southward into northern Georgia and Alabama. Outliers also appear in extreme southern Michigan and western Ohio, with scattered islands in southern Indiana and east of the Appalachians in the middle Atlantic States. The native range of eastern hemlock. The range completely overlaps that of Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana), a closely related species limited to the slopes of the Appalachians from Virginia and West Virginia into Georgia.

    FFA FORESTRY TEST BANK STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION AGRISCIENCE EDUCATION MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA FORWARD This FFA Forestry Test Bank has been developed as a study guide for students studying forestry. This bank consists of questions and answers relating to all aspects of the forest industry. The questions have been categorized into twelve areas of study. • General Forestry • Safety • Silviculture • Tree Identification • Tree Physiology • Instruments and Equipment • Measurements and Mapping • Forest Insects and Diseases • Utilization • Wildlife • Fire • Sample Problems The questions for the General Forestry Knowledge Written Test phrase of the FFA Forestry Judging Contest at the district and state levels will be taken from the questions in this publication. This FFA forestry Test Bank contains 388 questions. However, several of the questions can be divided into a large number of additional questions. For example: a large number of questions can be developed from TREE IDENTIFICATION, questions 15-20; or, INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT, question 18. Additional questions can be developed from the questions dealing with measurements in MEASUREMENTS AND MAPPING or the math problems in SAMPLE PROBLEMS by simply changing the numbers in these questions. Any additional questions developed and used on the forestry written test will be based on the same process or procedure as those in this bank. Only the numbers will be changed. This FFA forestry Test Bank was developed as a cooperative effort by representatives from the Alabama Forestry Commission and Agribusiness Education.
