Here is the best site for information
on different tree species

All tree species of the US are covered
 here in detail. This is more or less a
summary of all the knowledge about
a tree species including a very extensive
literature list for each tree.

How do trees grow and survive; autopsy
(literally seeing for oneself) of a tree

Great to learn how to prune trees,
or what happens when a tree gets hurt.
Some consider Dr. Shigo
the Pope of the arborists.

The best place to see aerial photos
is the free Google Earth
You can even look up and see the rest of the Universe

Another site with air photos,
but here only for Maine

This site has the better zoom and pan
capabilities, and even some color photos
from areas in southern Maine. You can
zoom into an area as small as your house.

There is no good forestry
without a good logger

The Certified Logging Professional (CLP)
is the logger with the best formalized training.
Logging is not only one of the toughest jobs
 around but also one of the most skilled ones.

And the best loggers also see to it
that their logging business  is up to snuff

The Master Logger Program started
to expand on the business part for loggers,
Unfortunately, the program did
not live up to expectations.

The Maine Forest Service

Some people think we have too much government
and everybody can think as one likes. I know the
people there do a good job under difficult circumstances.
Look for the Woods Wise Program for
land-owner programs

Small Woodland Owners of Maine (Swoam)

No, your height can be above 5’3”
to apply for a membership of Swoam,
but it would not hurt if you owned a small woodlot.

All your timber tax questions
will be answered here

If you want to save some money on taxes,
this is a good place to start.

Environmental News Service

This is a great collection of most if not all
environmental news published in
Maine News Papers.

I love Big Trees

This is the project Canopy’s resources website
 with a list of the 2003 champion trees in Maine

This is the most comprehensive forestry site I found

It’s the “About” Forestry site. “About”
has pages for hundreds of different topics
and each topic is maintained by a guide.
For Forestry the guide is Steve Nix, and
he collected about anything there is to know
about forestry

Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust,
Just a fantastic bunch of people

The Wildlands in East Orland are definitely
worth a visit.

This site has an incredible old harvest photo
