    A missed opportunity. Tree species not mentioned. The impact of swamp drainage on the species composition of the forest not discussed. The overall ecological impact (CO2 sequestration) not discussed.

    Really cool video. Gives me an idea of what pre-European Chicago musta looked like.
    Theres forest preserves that look similar but with smaller trees.

    You should take a trip to Belmont county. Dysart Woods is a old growth forest about 9 miles south of St. Clairsville. I live right next to it. Beautiful forest, was owned by Ohio University until here recently.

    The presence of pines suggests that Goll Wood is not entirely virgin (i. e., the pines were planted). Regardless, it looks like a nice place.

    • @adammackerel4993

      Correct. Virgin timber stands are nearly non-existent, at least in this part of the U.S. The terminology for types of old growth are often bandied about.

    Imagine a couple hundred years from now, the trees planted in subdivisions in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,… will look like these, LOOMING over neighborhoods, shading several houses at a time.😍

    That part of Ohio where the Black Swamp is was once covered by a larger version of Lake Erie during the Ice Age. So that whole area was under water.

    Buckeye here 😁 Love your videos. Thanks for visiting our great state. BTW, we are not in the midwest technically. Ask Oklahoma! 🤣 Second, wish you'd identify the trees. A great app (not mine nor do they sponsor me or whatnot) is PictureThis. Keep up the good work!

      I live in Ohio, by almost all official scholarly sources Ohio is considered part of the Midwest US, Oklahoma usually isnt. Even culturally Ohio is midwestern, with the farmlands, industry and great lakes, much more similar to wisc, indiana , and michigan than PA or WV or KY. Thanks for your support.

    There is no old growth ecology in Iowa and it makes me so depressed. Our lust for animal flesh and ethanol has destroyed precious natural beauty and biodiversity.

      @@ImSrry4BeingWhite I am not sure what operational definition of 'old growth forest' you are using when referencing those tracts.
      The definition I refer to is something like - "forests old enough that the tree dominants have reached their natural longevity, died of natural causes and been replaced through natural succession"
      By this definition Iowa has no old growth forests.
      If I granted that the entirety of the acreages you mentioned as old growth forests (when in reality, only portions of the named areas you've mentioned [136 & 350 acres, respectively] are forested), those two, together total to 0.019% of Iowa's *existing* forest land as of 2020. That calculation itself uses generous numerical values too, rounded up and down in your favor.
      The fraction would be more minuscule still, if we made the calculation using historical forest metrics of Iowa.
      Does Iowa have 'forests'? sure.
      But it ranks 52nd out of 56 US designations for forested land, just before states like South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska.
      If I have room to be educated on old growth forest ecology, or forests in Iowa that I am missing out on please let me know.

      The natives of those regions were not vegetarians and yet didn't destroy their forests! Most of the great lakes region is used for corn production! Something that goes into many vegan products!
      Not so black and white as your vegetarian propaganda pamphlets would tell you!

      Though the trees can be huge, Old Growth doesn't necessarily relate to size but age. 100 feet tall is impressive, however.
