Friday today and it's National Arbor Day. Did you plant a "tree" today? Students are probably asked to plant seedlings or young trees around their schools or in places where these particular trees have to grow.
We planted a Japanese maple tree in front of the house in Vermont last year. We left that house and moved to another house which at present time has all the trees because it's a forest at the backyard.
I like trees. I'm one of those tree huggers. Go ahead people use your computers and stop using paper ok? lol. Save your trees and breathe...
The photo above showed how I was amazed of the giant sequoia tree somewhere in Strathcona.
Photo snapshot by my husband Lorne in the year 1992.
The tree was probably more than thousand years old.
Yeah, find it out through its rings.
Remember the 3 RINGS RESEARCH?
There are many huge giant trees in Cathedral groves but no picture to show right now.
My husband's family "once" owned a logging camp during World War II up to year 1972 and those precious logs were then bought and exported to build houses, so many houses, buildings, boats, and electrical posts. There are many uses of trees and its resources. Logs, wood, lumber all of these wood products have million of uses and they brought employment to millions of people especially for the pulp, paper and lumber industry. Pulp mills and sawmills were then the industry that brought Canada to be one of the most developed countries in the world because of its natural resources.Too bad that many of those pulp mills are already closed at present time because you know we can't ax all of those trees all at once. The good thing about here in BC is for every fallen tree, at least 5 young trees are being planted on the ground. Make it 10 young trees or 10 seedlings for every one fallen tree.
I told you before that my father-in-law Robert James Turner was not only a smart businessman but also an expert woodcarver. Shown above is the photo image of his wooden wall clocks. He also made wooden jars and wooden bowls.
I guessed if you have enough wood and you have proper tools you can better develop your hobby of woodworking and woodcarving.
Fortune plants and palm trees? In this island?? Why not? I think we can plant these tropical trees in Vancouver island provided that the climate change will be approved. Otherwise you can have those trees inside your house.
My favorite tree
Cherry blossoms
Such a beautiful tree with beautiful flowers
No wonder
President George Washington got mad at his son for cutting the cherry blossom tree
at the White House.
Have a wonderful
HAPPY ARBOR DAY!
