Excellent presentation. I notice in his examples of severe soil disturbance no mention is made of clear cut logging, possibly since as a forestry professor in BC there is a big relationship with the timber industry. Same was true when I was a forestry major years ago in Northern California. Many of the same trees, just substitute Coast Redwood for Western Red Cedar. Very helpful in identifying what you might find in the coastal woods.
As a conifer lover, I found this very informative. I have a small collection of conifers which is my way of studying them, including western hemlock. Where would be the best place to see western hemlock in the forest (either Canada or US)?
Seattle. They are LITERALLY everywhere. Coming from the East cost where our Canadian and eastern hemlocks are scarce and fragile due to widespread HWA, it was so cool to see just how prevalent the hemlocks are in the PNW.
WHOIII! Excellent presentation! We’ve subscribed and look forward to learning more about our PNW forests. Thank you for taking the time to teach.

Great body thank you.
Licorice Ferns... beautiful. What does Mistletoe actually take from the tree that is different say from this beautiful plant...and the Moss?
Informative video, thanks.
Just a friendly tip, though, you might want to work on toning back the vocal fry.
Any major differences in the bark of Douglas Fir and Hemlock that could be used for identification?
Douglas fir bark is much coarser, with larger plates and deeper furrows.Hemlock bark tends to be much grayer in color.
any broadleaf evergreen trees in that area?
I might be overlooking one, but I think Arbutus (Arbutus Menziesii). It grows in drier areas in the southwestern portion of BC.
Is this Canada?
Yes, near Vancouver, British Columbia
