Its a crying shame. Here in upstate NY, we're just starting to see the ash borer. Hopefully we'll find a few resistant trees and the Ashley will come back. SAF motto is trees are temporary, forests are forever.
Ive got land a little west of you where most large, mature Beech are all dying as well. With those Beech crowns dead and fallen, dozens of young Beech saplings are then able to grow healthy - nice to see. Didn’t know to leave branches so deer can’t eat the buds. Back in 2011, our street was lined with large beautiful Ash - three years ago they were all dead and removed and the city replanted Oak, Ginkgo, Tulip trees etc. Thanks for the update, cheers
Hey Ron, yes I will but we have no snow and I need to get a bunch of work done that Ive been putting off for years - UA-cam doesn't pay the bills but I can at least shoot videos of this bush work while Im working. All the best and thanks for watching!
Sucks to lose the value of the lumber to the bugs but to the wildlife... EAB is such a blessing in places like NY State, where they have millions of acres of State Forest Preserves that are protected under legislation designation as "forever wild".
@@rollingupmysleeves In a mature forest, the biological diversity goes way down as very little sunlight makes it to the forest floor. Wildlife like deer, rabbits, grouse and the animals that prey on them rely on the new growth for food and cover. EAB is creating that opening the canopy for the first time in many years, at least where you have a good stand of ash trees.
@@rollingupmysleeves literally best thing you can do for a forest. Most people don't understand this and think removing trees is bad for wildlife, when its just the opposite.
I'm so glad you're one of the few people on earth and on the website that actually address a forest as a forest and not bush or annoyingly woods like the average goons do. It's all in the name & God made forests for mankind & one of the biggest savours of the world you name it The Forest is King after the Solar Sun and Deep oceans and the vast expanse Sky. Thanks so much for telling us what you like to do with the forest you own & like you said again always be on your guard when in and around the forest , Always a Beautiful place to be is in the forest & deep into God's Creation for the enjoyment of all the world , You ,sonny & l definitely aren't Average & that's Great , please keep the Forest content coming.
Really sad to see all the ash trees dying. I live in Indiana, going to the lake in the summer and looking into the forest surrounding the lake, it’s amazing how may dead ash trees you see, they stick out like a sore thumb among all the green healthy trees.
Our ash have been gone for awhile. Bark is all falling off. I’m turning it in to firewood I just acquired the property last spring. If I had it a few years ago I’d made some saw logs and lumber but they are a bit beyond that now. Indiana should have done a perimeter 10 mile ash harvest to try to keep the ash borer out. Anything would have been better than watching them just rot!!
@@rollingupmysleeves Well when we open the door were flooded with an overrun of Chinese goods and they don’t get anything but food and better ideas on stuff to pirate, id say they’re safe!!
I haven't really seen anything affected at about 4 inches or smaller - no idea what that means. They might roll through and settle in an area and move on when food sources are depleted, climactic events etc.
Same problem where we live .. all the ash is going or gone. Get a bad storm and sometimes these trees are snapping right in half. Barks all on the ground.. sad to see it happening but like ya said maybe something good can come out of it. Allow for another species of tree to strive
Same here near Perth, I have cut at least 60 so far. Lots more to go, Unfortunately, I have to burn most of my brush, Cutting around hayfields and along trails and roads. Cutting in the wind can get scary. Lol. I was just talking to a forester a few months ago and he said it is just a matter of time before something gets into the maple or hickory. Yikes!! Let's hope not. Take care
All mature ash trees long gone now in deep SW Ont. although they keep poping up around here..I have already seen some that were cut down, grown up from sprouting then re-infected, cut, and now sprouting again. Anyhow are you the guy from Powermodz??
Hey all is good thanks for watching! Busy as heck trying to finish my cabin ...and work. I might just put all my videos back on Powermodz - what do you think? It'd be all my off grid and everything i do vids...lemme know.
You got a knack at making great vids...I found this stream from a totally different source than snowmobiles...I still laugh everytime I picture yu on the Elan with no skis and the leather coat...@@rollingupmysleeves

Thanks for watching - our beech are affected too - they go down faster though it seems.
I still remember the Dutch Elm Disease back in the 1980's and 1970's that killed so many trees.
I remember that as well - we lost some big ones in our backyard that my dad had to drop - massive trees.
Good morning Louie I was wondering when were you going to start making snowmobile videos again either repairs upgrades or trips enjoyed watching them!

Exactly the same as my bush here in southern Ontario

Why is it a blessing?

Ok yes I see hat you are saying - that's why I maintain that responsible logging is good.

Hey thanks for that! More forest content coming, im into the red pine plantation soon...and why I don't like them so much. Cheers!

Ya it's sad to see - a grey wasteland.

Ya pretty sad...I wonder how many invasive species they have in China...bugs and stuff from North America?

Ash will do some regen from the stump if they are still alive when they are cut. I can't say if the beetle will bother the sprouts or not.

Same story at my place unfortunately, I need to get at them to get them down before they’re completely rotten
fortunately, we haven't got any ash beetles here yet but I imagine it is only a matter of time.
Awesome love your content ! Brad from the Calabogie Happy New Year cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

Sorry to hear that and hope nothing else comes this way....
Where are you at? I am in Charlotte county, N.B. The ash trees are still healthy here.
About an hour outside of Ottawa
all my ash are dying too
Great Video!!!💯👍🏻💯❤️
Thank you!
@@rollingupmysleeves 👍🏻💯

No no ...keep this too...its great!@@rollingupmysleeves
Ash wood is a pretty good firewood.
Almost like birch.
ya a great firewood - dries fast and burns hot.
excellent work
Thank you! Cheers!
What types of ash do you have the most of
Mainly white ash I believe.
@@rollingupmysleeves We have green black and some white ash and I think the white has the most rot, cutting outside Arnprior
Ya we have a little black ash - you aren't far from me.
Cold weather
Helps
Amazing how many terrible things have come from China...
Crazy eh.
