This Tree Talk is a little further south than usual; while down in the Land of the Pines we picked up the top dog, loblolly pine! Loblolly (Pinus taeda) is a large, fast-growing canopy tree that is very important for the timber industry and our rural economies. It is super common and widespread in much of the southeast, though it was historically found primarily in wet bottomlands.
Ryan Davis, Senior Forests Projects Manager, shares his knowledge of different species found on his walks through the woods. Each video is about a different species or activity related to ecology, reforestation, and more.
If you enjoy hiking or walking in nature, you already know there’s so much to take in, and it can be daunting thinking about trying to understand it all. Inspired by our in-person tree identification workshops, our Tree Talk video series aims to share small tidbits of information with Chesapeake Bay watershed communities in hopes of inspiring good forest stewards. From how to plant a tree to bark that appears to be flexing its muscles, each Tree Talk is your monthly dose of tree ID, reforestation techniques, and a little forest fun.
