Got to see a trial of a plantMax machine today, one of 12 in the world, this one the only one with a ponsse forwarder chassis.
Human planters will always be the preferred method of planting trees, but this was an awesome opportunity to see new innovations in the forestry industry. #forestry #trees

Found out that this old Jack pine plantation the burned in the summer of 2023 in Northern Ontario, contributed to the super smoky conditions in DC that I had experienced two years prior.
Funny little full circle moment where I was on the receiving end of the smoke and now I’m here replanting it!

Found a super random piece of home in a New Brunswick value village! Super cool cave system I visited a while ago in Northern Virginia, some of the most stunning stalactites and stalagmites you’ll ever see.

Quite the harvest from the Hydroponics club here on campus. These baskets go to professors who made a donation to the club, four giant cucumbers grew over the break and turned out quite well.

A snapshot from a recent class trip to one of AV Nackawick’s operations in New Brunswick. This was part of a Forest Operations course I was taking, super cool to see how Forest ops are conducted in the Acadian forest compared to the Boreal!

If you ever wanted to know what 10 million trees looks like, here you go. These were taken at Kingsclear Tree Nursery in NB. This was part of my Silviculture class exploring different aspects of the field.

Reminiscing about my work this summer in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Was my first experience with forest operations, can’t wait to get back into the field again.
