  1. Great stuff! I hope you make many more like this. Love your channel!

  2. Awesome! I love seeing longer format content from you! Love everything you do! Keep spreading the good work!!!

  3. Two days ago I presented a lesson on Oaks and got a question on how to id water oaks. I couldnt answer…Thanks a bunch, now I know!! Im sharing this video 😄

  4. As a true nature lover I really enjoy your videos. So informative and educational. Keep up the good work.

  5. Love the content! A video about what people in an urban environment can do to bring back the plants

  6. you are so inspiring to me and you are showing me what i want to do with my life. id love for you to talk about how you got to know as much as you do about praries + native ecology! i want to go into wildlife management, environmental science, or forestry. i dont see a lot of people who do what you do, so your content is really important!!

  7. There are pines in CA that won't even open the pine cones and reseed if they are not burned. yet because they don't want to burn they allow the brush to build up to such a level that fires get out of control and burn too hot and kill all the trees. Trees will literally explode from the heat. All due to poor management.

  8. What's your thoughts on assisted migration of range shifting savanna species? Love the videos by the way!

  9. Was this reuploaded? I was so sure that I already liked and commented on this video, and I think I've been asleep for more than 4 hours, but the video says it was uploaded 3 hours ago. Glitch in the Matrix??

    Edit: Also, love your videos! As everyone else already said, I hope to see more of these longer videos! Love the short ones, too, though.

  10. This is really fascinating! I'm from Arkansas, I'm pretty sure a lot of our native trees are not fire tolerant but the logging companies that used to be everywhere in this state would plant rows and rows of pine to replace the trees they stripped out. I'm from a place that used to be a swamp but is now filled with pine trees. I wonder what effect that has on the ecology.

  11. Your service is beyond appreciated, Kyle! I love that you explain things so clearly with nature as your chalkboard full of notes. 😊 Keep up the amazing work, keep inspiring us and teaching us new things ❤.

  12. I live in New England, where at one time up to 75% of forest had been cut. Now it's heavily forested again, but very un-unatural. You can go deep in the woods and find stone walls and foundation of farms that used to be there. I often wonder what the forests must have looked like before the maples took over.

  13. Great video. I'm learning more about southeastern habitats through your videos than I ever thought about before.

  14. Awesome video Kyle! Wish my forestry classes at college taught info like this. I once saw an orange glow in the woods on campus. It was a glorious stand of tamarack. Needles on the ground, needles on the trees. I know they’re deciduous & thanks to you, I now know the fire factor. Keep these videos coming!!

  15. Great presentation! I'm a very new subscriber and I'm really excited to see more longer-form videos

  16. This information was awesome, thank you, Kyle! Adds a whole new depth of details that I can use while scouting.

  17. Don’t blackjack oaks hold on to their leaves through the winter ? So are they not fire adapted?

  18. currently working on clearing out honeysuckle from our families land and Im so excited to have found your channel!

  19. I found the correlation between trees species, leaf shape, the way that leaves rest on the forest floor, and fire super interesting👍 -thank you

  20. I’ve been following your content across platforms for awhile now, but I have to say I LOVE this long format!! Keep doing what you do!!!!

  21. This was great! Very informative and great examples to see. I'm learning a lot from you so I guess old dogs can learn new tricks. Thanks!

  22. I have recently discovered your channel, and it is so inspiring to see this kind of work being done. I am a college student interested in environmental protection and restoration, and my grandfather owns a lot of empty land full of turf grass we aren’t using, and I was wondering how I would start going about replacing it with the native grasslands?

  23. Northeast IN and i have some bottomland hardwoods and im have trouble finding management ideas for it. Just working on invasives and sick trees for now. Do you have an resource suggestions
