Celebrating the 50 State Trees of the United States of America
I have set a personal goal to climb each of the state trees of the United States. I am a forester with the Society of American Foresters and I’m hoping to draw public attention to the nation’s forests.
I hope the effort will give me a chance to get people’s attention and allow me to create discussions about forestry. The USA is blessed with some of the most incredible forests in the World.
I want to celebrate this while also helping to raise awareness about some of the threats and challenges they face.
