Native Tree Society Members "As a new member with no degrees, no formal forestry education except lots of seminars, 45 years in the woods, first as a logger (veneer and then sawlog and a little pulp in poor years, now in my 15th year as a specimen tree grower with growing operations in four states, I look to the professionals for hopefully good unbiased research, and to the amateur huggers for passion and fresh ideas. ENTS to me, spoke in many voices that was leavened with common caring for the fabric of the forest not the economics but the biological good and majesty of our trees. Without the forest this planet as we know it dies. Regardless of degrees or organizations, regardless of man's petty disputes of hierarchy, our forests need us (all of us) now more than ever, to hold the tide of man back, to corral and channel our disruptive and voracious appetite for timber with a longer term view than a 20 year plan for Loblolly. Walk softly, leave no trace, harvest responsibly using sustainable BMP's, and ENTS's mission of education and big tree celebration will be an enjoyable passion. Look to the value of the information provided and not the title from whence it came. Even babes can have wisdom. John Muir should speak to all of us. - Ren, March 19, 2008" |

Welcome to the membership pages of the Native Tree Society.
Here we present photos and brief biographical notes for those
who chose to be included. We have members in the United
States, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere around the world.
Any member is free to participate in all of the
discussions and any organizational activities no matter what
their physical
location or chapter affiliation. For bookkeeping purposes members are assigned
to one chapter or another, or are simply considered members at large
based on where they live. The biographical sketches for
individual members are color coded by location. The background
of those people living in the eastern United States and Canada
are colored pale green and are based on location members of the
Eastern Native Tree Society, those in western United States and
Canada have a tan colored background and are based on location
members of the Western Native Tree Society. Those living
elsewhere in the world are considered to be at-large members of
the Native Tree Society and have a light blue background.
Those members who are active in tree measurement are noted by
the use of a green font color in their biographical sketches.
