Thinking back to one of my favorite tree-related expeditions. These are Brewer Spruce (Picea breweriana) trees, located 3300 ft/1000 m above sea level in the Siskiyou Mountains of SW Oregon.

They have a limited distribution, and are only found at high altitudes in this remote mountain range. Even in July, they were shrouded in fog.

This species is considered one of the most genetically basal, pointing to a North American origin for all spruces.

Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, 4L secured an eight hour work day, soldiers paid the same as civilian loggers (a higher rate than the average soldier), and military sanitary regulations. In the end, the nationalization of the lumber industry brought about many of the changes the IWW had called for before the war.”

Members of the new union had to sign a loyalty oath to the United States and a no-strike agreement.

#ThickTrunkTuesday with a bonus #SquirrelScrolling
I was harvesting firewood in the bush last week, an area I hadn't spent too much time yet this year, so this Red #Squirrel Tamiasciurus hudsonicus was not at all sure what I was doing there-- it held still for a while, hoping I didn't see it and would go away...
It is on a decent sized Picea glauca/ White #Spruce in #winter afternoon #sunlight #WinterBright #BorealForest #Alberta #Canada #wildlife #SolaceInNature #GoOutsideForMe

Left of centtre we see 2-3 feet of a spruce trunk, probably about halfway up. The bark is rough, scaly and a mix of grey and reddish brown. There are a number of dry (needle-less) grey branches sticking out in various directions and some branches hanging from farther up with green needles. The sky beyond is blue and there is a golden glow from afternoon sun reaching the right side of the trunk and lighting a squirrel which is perched on a branche mostly out of sight behind the trunk. We see its head, looking straight ahead, (towards our right) not looking at the photographer. A bit of its bushy tail (it would be arched forward over its back) can be seen just behind its head.

These two lovely spruces behind the house unfortunately will have to go. The roots are damaging the foundation and creatures climb into the attic.

But since they're the only spruces we've found on the land so far, I'm attempting to clone them first.

One pot has torn off twigs, the other cuts, as experts couldn't agree which will root better.

I put some acorns in the bottom to improve drainage and maybe get some oak sprouts, too :)

Two spruces very close to an old log house. Very, very close - the branches are hanging over the roof and onto the balcony. A pile of trimmed branches is in front, some of them chopped up for small logs. The house is yellow with a green roof.
Two plastic planting pots with freshly torn/cut spruce twigs in them, sitting on a large rock.
The same two pots, just before, bottom of one filled with two layers of acorns, the other already with black potting soil on top. A worn leather glove is in the background.
