Ken Smith said: “It has a 20-year agreement,” “But there’s no reason that it can’t last 30-35 years. It’s more about economics and the current situation in the electricity world. It’s more expensive than wind and solar, but we have a waste stream that needs to be managed. Until there’s a different system to work with that, there needs to be a glide path to the next thing”

Carly Ziter explained: “It's not so much that there’s something particularly special about that ash tree as that there were so many of them,” “Several areas of Montreal had ash trees lining entire streets, and so we're looking at a situation where, in some neighbourhoods, it might be upwards of 25 or 50 per cent of the street trees were ash and will now be gone”

Bill Cook said: “If even a million cords of the annual mortality, of the six million, could be harvested, that would be enough wood to supply a large pulp mill, many sawmills, or provide heat and hot water for 200,000 homes,”

Aaron Greenberg said (about William Penn): "Pennsylvania, literally Penn's Woods, was almost completely forested when William Penn came here in 1682," "In the intervening 400-plus years, almost all of the old growth was cut. We hope that through the Champion Tree Program, the citizens of Pennsylvania can get excited about seeing the very large, and often very old trees that remain in this state, many of which are under threat from development or lack of care"

John Gunn said: “Outbreaks from non-native insects such as the emerald ash borer threaten New Hampshire’s forests with widespread loss of native ash trees,”

fosters Monday, April 20, 2020 1:31:00 AM CEST

John Gunn said: “When an event such as an outbreak of insect pests occurs that kills many trees at one time, landowners who rely on timber revenue often try to minimize financial loss through the ‘salvage’ of dead or dying trees,” “As New Hampshire forest owners saw following the 1998 ice storm, the decision to salvage dead trees had implications for which species grew back and what kind of quality wood products their land could produce. Now, with a greater awareness of the role of forests for mitigating climate change, it is also important to consider the carbon implications of such harvesting decisions”

Kevin Potter said: “Every few years we get a new exotic insect or disease that comes in and is able to do a number on our native forests,” “Emerald ash borer is clobbering a number of ash species in the Midwest and increasingly in the South. The chestnut, a magnificent tree that had immense ecosystem value as well as economic value in the South and North, is pretty much gone because of a pathogen. And hemlocks are under attack by the hemlock woolly adelgid from the Northeast along the Appalachian Mountains into the South”

Kevin Potter explained: “As you have an increasing number of tree species, you have an increasing number of pest species, up to an inflection point where that relationship changes,” “Then you have a decreasing number of pest species as the number of host tree species increases”

earth Wednesday, February 19, 2020 1:51:00 PM CET

Kevin Potter said: “What we see is that forests in the Midwest and up into New England are at the middle part of that hump-shaped curve in terms of the number of host tree species, and those are places where there have been a lot of insect and disease problems,” “Out West we have fewer insect and disease pests, but in some cases they still do a lot of damage because the forests are not diverse. If you have a specialist pest come in and knock back one of the major components of your biodiversity, then that can have a greater impact. An example of how that works would be Sudden Oak Death, a disease in California that’s affecting oaks there”
