I just did three days in a row...it's been single digits all week. We only ran into about 2 dozen fish, so I'll be back out tomorrow. Tight lines, good luck and be safe.

Luckily, there are federal seed banks we sent thousands of seeds collected from Ash species in the northeast.

If the EAB do relent at some point, we have lots of genetics safely stored. Hopefully, EAB doesn't switch hosts when Ash dies out.

The Feds are working on crossing Chestnut genetics too.

I was involved with Emerald Ashborer research in NY and a slow ash mortality program SLAM.

We are looking at a near eradication of Fraxinus 🫣

So, you're one of those guys 🤓 LOL.

Congratulations!!!

I actually completely respect your area of study. I worked in invasive species management myself.

I'll have to post a picture of my entomological collections... when I think of it .

He sure ain’t no Jimmy Carter! RIP

Now he can get back to his hobbies.

That is a gorgeous tree.You take great pictures Jane!

Congrats!

Family indicate that I indeed forget many things that happen. I thought I formed new memories properly but it's really hard to tell. I sometimes need to be told and reassured that I've addressed those issues recently. If I keep it in my head for a while, there's a possibility I could remember it.

They are not toxic as far as I'm aware and are widely used in teas.

You'd never want to eat them because it's similar to chewing wood shavings 😋

Be careful. People can be allergic to anything! Mix the mushroom powder with your favorite teas when you steep it. The T Tail alone isn't very appealing

Very nice!
