Your channel is one of the all-time greats of TH-cam. So informative and so beautifully photographed. You deserve way more subscribers, and if you ever start a Patreon and/or YT membership, I'll be happy to contribute!
Karl, thank you so much for that, it makes my day. If others can discover more of the beauty and wonders that our forests can bring to their lives, as they have to mine, that will be reward enough for me. There's so much to learn out there, it's incredible. And, as has been said before, you begin to realize that everything is connected to everything else.
Love these, please consider making a video comparing forests with deer overabundance vs forests without deer overabundance. That could be extremely useful to educate people about the problems of deer overabundance. Thanks for the great videos!
These New England Forests Videos are fantastic. We enjoy every one of them and have watched them all more than once. Thank you!! Keep up this great work!
Such a surplus of knowledge, your videos are so professional! Thank you for these A+ documentaries! It is always a treat to learn more about local flora and fauna, and its rare when it's given in such a gorgeous intimate manner, beautiful shots, your work is so important!!
Another home run Ray! I imagine you are the hero of many a lazy biology teacher. Throw on a New England Forests video, retire to the teachers lounge and return to an enlightened classroom.
In keeping with your other work, this is informative, has hundreds of beautiful shots, and is an overall joyous experience. I also love the animation and the species ID displays (also will say that the closed captions are very good here).
Parasitic plants are fascinating, Ghost Pipeweed, Giant Red Paintbrush, Yellow Rattle. Even though it seems to be damaging in the long run it probably serves a good purpose.
Thank you! I was surprised some of the plants I know are hemiparasitic (more familiar with holoparasites in our range). Cow wheat was my big surprise, but only because I failed to realize they were in the Orobanchaceae. Now I know, thanks for this great video!
You can see for yourself what can happen to the forest floor duff layer as a result of non-native, invasive, destructive earthworms in our film "My Forest Has Worms", at th-cam.com/video/5xvkIDs3zQk/w-d-xo.html
I found the ghost plant (about 20 minutes into the film) in my woods last year. They are so small that they are easily overlooked. I assumed it was a fungus because it was white. Now that I know it has other colors, I will be looking for them when the white ones bloom. I appreciate that you can answer questions about the plants in my woods.
You'll probably start noticing ghost plants more often, now that you have the search image. I find that I overlook a lot of small things too until I become familiar with them, and then it seems they're everywhere.
Are any of the hemiparasitic plants edible? You mentioned that they may benefit other plants because of the vitamins that would be concentrated in their leaves, which made me wonder if they could be food.
Hi, I believe some of the plants were used traditionally for medicinal value, though I don't know how effective they were or are. (By the way, just to clarify, I didn't use the word "vitamins" ... the root hemiparasites extract water and dissolved minerals from their hosts' roots.) I'd suggest doing careful research before eating any wild plants; some may be harmful. I didn't research that kind of information for this film.
Hi Michael.. sorry you’re having a poor playback experience. A few things come to mind. Have you tried selecting a different (lower) resolution by clicking on the settings “gearwheel” icon? Is your internet connection overloaded (eg, is someone else streaming content)? If it’s a Windows system, is Microsoft maybe downloading an update to your operating system, or is an antivirus scan running? Hopefully, whatever is causing the issue is temporary and will clear up soon.

Forest fans need to learn to look down as often as we look up. 😁🌲🌿🌳
This is a pleasant surprise! I love your videos, and seeing a new one is always a treat!
Thank you!
My favorite TH-cam channel. Your production value, writing, and content are fantastic.

Thanks Robbie, it would not have happened without good people such as you helping out!

This is wonderful. Thank you.

I can only think of that it creates more biodiversity -- e.g. specialized insects
Great video, love learning so much from this content.
Pink Indian Pipe. I'll be on the lookout. Thanks.
Yes! More please.
I love your TH-cam channel so much!!! Thank you for explaining the plants and phenomena I see all the time in the forest!
Quality content! Cheers from Sweden.
Great video! Thank you!
You’re quite welcome… and thank YOU !
Love Them! All of them! All😮your videos! Nature - Narrator - No B/S!
Thank you for the informative video, is it possible to make a video about invasive plants spreading the New England forrest?
Hi... we touch upon the topic of invasive plants in "The Lost Forests of New England", but we'll consider your suggestion of a film about them.
I'd be interested as well!@@NewEnglandForests
Thank you! I was surprised some of the plants I know are hemiparasitic (more familiar with holoparasites in our range). Cow wheat was my big surprise, but only because I failed to realize they were in the Orobanchaceae. Now I know, thanks for this great video!
Thanks for teaching me about dodder. Very informative video!
ty
Dodder may be predatory in its behaviour, but the flower clusters are so pretty. Like a natural wreath.
The passage on dodder was arresting. Great soundtrack.
Another excellent video. What will happen to the all important upper fungi layer when Asian jumping worms invade our forests????

Only complaint, my notification didn't go off!!!

This cured my depression
Lot of Indian pipe here. Wish could find that red one so often near. Never have
Man, I hate all of these exploiters cheating all the time. I wish the Devs would do something about them.
#NerfHemiparasites
Even the worst parasitic plants cant compare to my ex
Hmmm… I assume you’re implying your ex is a vegetarian??
@@NewEnglandForests Cute!
Is it glitchy af for anyone else? Keeps freezing every 2 seconds.

I wish the beech trees could be helped :/
