Trees
ParkChat
Q1. It can be argued Trees are the living, breathing core to our National Park System. Similar to having a “spirit animal”, do you have a Tree that “speaks to you” or the like? #ParkChat
A1: well I’m in Ohio, so by law I must say the buckeye...O-H...in reality it’s the Giant Sequoia Tree #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 I absolutely love love love aspens. An aspen is the most enchanting tree. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A1 I've always been enamored with the Redbud. Brings back warm memories of Grandma's farm in #iowa. We're too far north and high in elevation to have them here.
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. I think I've had different trees that speak/call to me. Depending on the season for one, or to where I'm traveling for another. #parkchat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. There's nothing like walking among the beautiful California coastal redwoods. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) I've never even thought of this, but I'd have to go with maple trees because they were shelter during youthful adventures and provide my family with tasty syrup every year. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 #ParkChat I’ve always loved the arbutus of the #PNW. They keep their green leaves but shed their bark. The new bark underneath is bright orange! They can only live near the coast.
A1 #ParkChat A good 'ole ponderosa pine. There's just something about it that reminds me of 1950s roadtrips and National Parks.
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. The bur oak is my favorite tree. Gnarly, survivor of prairie fires, keeper of history. #parkchat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute a1 - Nothing like the smell of Pine Trees during a Colorado summer #parkchat
A1: If I could be a tree I’d be (wait, wasn’t this asked if Doug Williams during Super Bowl Week?). Giant Sequoia #ParkChat
A1 Gotta go with the bristlecone pine. several thousand years old. imagine if it could talk. Loved them near Wheeler Peak in @GreatBasinNPS #parkchat
A1 The dogwood is my spirit tree. I adopted one when I was five years old and watched it grow throughout my childhood. Don't find many dogwoods in the national parks, though. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) Both the Coastal Redwoods and Giant Sequoias are trees that if not speak to me they gather my attention more than other trees. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: I like nice thick conifers. They make for good protection from the elements #parkchat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: all trees speak to me. But my original favorite was the white pine #ParkChat
A1. Western red cedar--a tree that has provided shelter, food, clothing, and culture for millennia. Plus they smell wonderful. Hi, #ParkChat!
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) #Parkchat The ohia lehua tree, because of the beautiful red flowers! They say if you pick them, it will rain, so no picking them! Found in @Volcanoes_NPS https://t.co/3fXWJPKkio

A1) Hello from New York! when I saw this weeping willow tree on the Connecticut River I felt it had a long story to tell. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 The world's largest Sitka spruce on the Olympic Peninsula is a favorite of mine! #parkchat https://t.co/LmeCFgRm1w
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1). California Black Oak. It’s always been my favorite since childhood #ParkChat
A1 So many special trees, but the Sequoia are the ones tied to my earliest visits to the national parks, and as elaborated by Dayton Duncan in "Seed of the Future", they are a metaphor for the development of the national park idea #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: Ponderosa Pine because it was first tree I ever enjoyed smelling in a National Park. To me it smells like vanilla! #ParkChat #trees
