SuzJanEmExcellent presentation of fire scienceMany aspects are covered in a very well conceived and presented set of presentations and stories.
-
G.DillonThanks for the great storytelling!You’ve done such a great job with this season on wildfire. It’s such an important topic for our society to understand, but there’s so much complexity than what can easily be presented through typical journalism. I appreciated getting to be part of this season and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the episodes!
-
AlmostaFarm01Good program for Woodlot ownersI’m finding this program a good resource for information on the newest thinking of management strategies. For instance I am struggling with invasive species and trying to develop a strategy to replace Invasives with native plants and trees
-
Trail SojournA deeper dive into the Forest worldThe Internet can give you the simple answers to the what and why of our National Forests but to truly understand fire on our public lands, to know why trees are dying, to understand the ecosystems, to appreciate the work being done behind the scenes, this podcast will educate and inform so the next time you step on a trail or see firefighters battling a wildfire, or are looking for a career in natural resources, have a listen and prepare to have a new outlook on nature.

camocarmelcamelScientific, detailed, funGreat listen for anyone, from the curious to the professionals.

Bruce just wonderingNot much about Forest. A disappointment.Disappointed in this season. Not much information provided to help in management of our forest. Last year was interesting. This year off target. Not about forest research. It is about the researchers. Not helpful.
-
angvisleitVery Informative!I recently started to notice all of the dead ash trees where I live in Wisconsin. This podcast gave me a good understanding of what’s going on and a little bit of hope that the Ash trees do have a chance. Thanks for the great work!
-
heynowheyyyyynow99Jon brings the trees to life.This is a fantastic podcast.
-
NsmoooveIncredible!Jon as a host does a great job driving the story along and makes the content super easy to understand. Plus, the production on the pod is top notch and it’s clear to see that a ton of time goes into making this thing as perfect as can be. Also, shoutout for the cicada knowledge....can’t lie I was kind of shook lol.
-
John GrasingI love this podcast!!!!!Thank you for this podcast. It explained some of the big invasive tree pests in an easy to understand way. The last episode about the red spruce was great! I can not wait for the next episode.

Maxlife24More Forestcast!The scientists at USFS are doing really important research to keep where we work, live and play a comfortable and habitable place (ie not overrun by invasive bugs!) I love the spotlight this series gives to their voices and all the levers that keep an invasive species from going out of control. Great for both environmental science novices and experts alike. Make more!!
-
Quercus shumardiiExcellent ListenThe host does a great job at making this interesting for people of all levels of experience in the tree pest field. I’m excited to hear more.
