We have seen bears in the trees across from Signal Hill Elementary. Some fruit-bearing trees don't attract bears such as cherry trees because the fruit is quite small.
We have new folks moving in who don't understand the proper etiquette for being a good neighbor to the fish. People move to the forest and then cut down the trees around their lot so they can have more sunlight.
We have some big kids and a kid that can throw the ball, so every time we get a throw from 40 yards out, we try to put it in the box and let our trees go after it.
Of course it pushed some trees over and the ones that got righted back up, it might have broken the roots from where we pulled them back up, but I don't think there's going to be any real problems.
Of all the trees that grow so fair, / Old England to adorn, / Greater are none beneath the Sun, / Than Oak and Ash and Thorn.
We get a lot of people from out of state who come down and it's not what they expect Florida to be, the horse farms and oak trees instead of the sand and the ocean.
We generally get upset about any sort of invasive threat. The latest infestation in Carteret and Woodbridge is resulting in 16,000 to 17,000 trees coming down.
When trees are stressed, they emit a different odor, just like a person under stress. Insects detect this odor and attack them.
When trees are killed in fires, there is a lot of dead standing timber out there. Our fear is that eventually a wind storm will blow the dead trees over and create an enormous campfire effect across thousands of acres.
The rain keeps constantly raining,And the sky is cold and gray,And the wind in the trees keeps complainingThat summer has passed away; --
