There are great collections of trees here and there. The Arnold Arboretum in Boston is the great dendrological Noah's Ark in this country. It contains almost all the trees, American and foreign, which will grow in that region. The Shaw Botanical Garden at St. Louis is the largest midland assemblage of trees. Parks in various cities bring together as large a variety of trees as possible, and these are Often labelled with their English and botani cal names for the benefit of the public. Yet the places for the beginner are his own dooryard, the streets he travels four times a day to his work, and woods for his holiday, though they need not be forests. Arboreta are for his delight when he has gained some acquaintance with the tree families. But not at first. The trees may all be set out in tribes and families and labelled with their scientific names. They will but confuse and discourage him. There is not time to make their acquaintance. They overwhelm with the mere number of kinds. Great arboreta and parks are Very scarce. Trees are every where. The acquaintance Oi trees is within the reach of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Canadian Forest Trees The substance of the tree, wood, is used for making houses, barns, ships, furniture, railway cars, implements, fences and many other things, and is also the chief fuel in Canada for heating houses. Some trees are used to make paper and others fur nish us food. Every year wood becomes of greater necessity to mankind. We know this because the price of wood is constantly increasing. Canada is one of the greatest tree-growing coun tries of the world. Many years ago people used to think that some day all the trees in Canada would be cut down and the land covered with farms. They did not know, as we do, that if all the trees in Canada were cut down tomorrow more than half the land could not be used for farms, because it is too hilly, stony, rocky, sandy, or otherwise barren.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Talking Trees, And, Canadian Forest Trees Then indeed came a new day for the forest. The railway company needed trees for its station houses and its bridges, and many thousand trees were used for sleepers or cross-ties - the pieces of wood to which the steel rails are spiked - and soon the axe strokes were ringing in the forest all day long. When that work was completed we breathed freely again for we thought all danger was past, butsoon we saw carloads of logs and boards going along the railway, always going westward, and we heard that they needed lumber for building houses and schools and churches in the prairie country. At first the news filled us all with horror, but after thinking over it a while the older trees saw that it was what we had been growing for all these years. When we were saplings and half-grown trees we did not want to be cut down: We wanted to go on living simply for the joy of it, but we always had this thought that we were created for some purpose, and that we wanted to live till that purpose was accomplished. As we saw big trees die of old age, or insect attacks, or go down in a wind-storm, we felt that this was not the end for which we were created. It was not for this we wanted to live on. It was not because we wanted to die of old age that we shuddered when the Red Demon killed our brothers and threatened us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Trees of the Northern States and Canada: East of the Rocky Mountains The shortness of the period, too, during which the flowers or fruits of certain trees are in their prime, or even exist on the trees, has necessitated close watch. The exact time must' be ascertained by observation, and if, perchance, I miss it I must wait until another year for another opportunity. Then I may find it an off year (imagine my disappointment I), and still another year must be waited. Procuring specimens from lofty tree-tops are trivial ordeals compared with instances like these.

Book excerpt: Finalist, Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing Finalist, Banff Mountain Book Competition Finalist, BC Book Prize Globe and Mail best books of 2018 CBC best Canadian non-fiction of 2018 In the tradition of John Vaillant’s modern classic The Golden Spruce comes a story of the unlikely survival of one of the largest and oldest trees in Canada. On a cool morning in the winter of 2011, a logger named Dennis Cronin was walking through a stand of old-growth forest near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. He came across a massive Douglas fir the height of a twenty-storey building. Instead of allowing the tree to be felled, he tied a ribbon around the trunk, bearing the words “Leave Tree.” The forest was cut but the tree was saved. The solitary Douglas fir, soon known as Big Lonely Doug, controversially became the symbol of environmental activists and their fight to protect the region’s dwindling old-growth forests. Originally featured as a long-form article in The Walrus that garnered a National Magazine Award (Silver), Big Lonely Doug weaves the ecology of old-growth forests, the legend of the West Coast’s big trees, the turbulence of the logging industry, the fight for preservation, the contention surrounding ecotourism, First Nations land and resource rights, and the fraught future of these ancient forests around the story of a logger who saved one of Canada's last great trees.
