Beech is whats next. Its really sad, I absolutely love forestry and native species. Every year i plant different trees and bushes that are native and support our wildlife. Trees are so important to human life and unfortunately they have taken a back seat in the world we now live in. Just driving down the thruway and seeing so many stands of dead ash is heartbreaking.
