Forestry B/C

Discussion for Forestry B/C

Forestry Wiki
Forestry Test Exchange 2012
2011 Thread
-The path of the Administrator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

I am absolutely shocked that they kept the Audubon-based 2004 format. Any thoughts about still going to use a non-Audubon guide?

That's what I was about to say. Audobon isn't very good for competition but you're supposed to ID things without the help of your guide right? So if you just know whether that tree is in the East or West then you can just as easily find the tree as any other book. But still, it comes in two volumes which is a disadvantage. If I'm not getting Audobon, I'm getting Sibley for reasons I stated in the Preliminary Thread.

Got any good non-SO-related sites for Forestry? Thanks!
100% of deaths are somehow caused by science.

This site is pretty hard to pick stuff apart from, but is a treasure trove of information.

Question: How are you guys distinguishing bark? Do you describe it? Or do you just memorize how it looks? I'm finding it hard to distinguish bark.

The website the Wiki Resources page gives has two useful resources:

USDA where you can find the plant fact sheets.

and

Dendrology at Virgina Tech where you can find a compilation of pictures of each species.
