Alberta Trees of Note. A must read.
Did you know some of Alberta's trees have quite the history? Like 300 to 1000 year old individual trees. And amazingly particular trees have importance historically.
Anyways I discovered this 30 year old book online and thought some other folks might find it interesting. It will give me a different appreciation for our trees and forests. And it gives me more landmarks to check out when travelling around the province. Now I know the story behind some of the individual trees I have seen in my travels. Enjoy...
