+123JumpingJacks Hi 123 There are many good forestry schools. I suggest finding one in a region of the country that has the types of trees that you want to work with or learn more about. The Society of American Foresters maintains a credential for forestry schools. You can learn more at www.SAFnet.org Here is a direct link to their guide safnet.org/education/2014_SAF_College_Guide.pdf Sincerely, Peter
+Rob Green Hi Rob: Thanks for viewing and taking the time to respond. The challenge with common names is that they can take almost any form, and locally there are often wide ranging examples of how different species are referenced. This is of course the beauty of Latin for scientific names. Pinus sylvestris, the tree in question, has at least two common names. The seventh edition of the Textbook of Dendrology, 1991 Harlow et al. (not the most recent) lists the common name as "Scotch." The USFS Manual on the Silvics of Trees includes "Scotch" as one of the common names. Also listed is "Scots." www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_manual/volume_1/silvics_vol1.pdf I commonly hear both common names. Enjoy the woods, Peter
