Thank You, that's an incredibly beautiful and historic place....traveling thru the swamp and woods must have been incredibly difficult and time consuming.
Cleveland was once nicked 'Forest City'.🤠
Incredible place! Thanks for taking us there.
Imagine a couple hundred years from now, the trees planted in subdivisions in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,… will look like these, LOOMING over neighborhoods, shading several houses at a time.😍
No cuz theyll just cut them down when they get too big
Great video, keep covering rural places - they’re nice additions to the towns and cities
Great informative video.👍 I didn’t know that Ohio had a swamp.
Awesome video. Few preserved places near toledo I love to go to.
Great video!
Your "on location" vids are the best
Many of the photos in my Cleveland then and now vid were also shot on location.
I recently got into an argument with someone that said old growth Forrest were not good for the ecosystem
What is going on with the education system smh
Timber companies are upset that most people like old trees, so they spread lies to confuse so they can continue to cut them down. Older trees are more valuable ($$$) than younger due to tight grain of the lumber.
Wow that's just ridiculous for someone to think that. Personally I've worked in logging for 16 years, and grew up in a small timber industry based community, and even I'm aware of why old growth forests are important, and why they should be preserved.
Likely the old timer mentality that things need "cleaned up" as they would call it. The same people that think a grass lawn is a necessary component of the ecosystem and that mowing is doing the Lord's work.
Really cool video. Gives me an idea of what pre-European Chicago musta looked like.
Theres forest preserves that look similar but with smaller trees.
You should take a trip to Belmont county. Dysart Woods is a old growth forest about 9 miles south of St. Clairsville. I live right next to it. Beautiful forest, was owned by Ohio University until here recently.
Unexpected but cool video.
I know it's not really a forgotten place but you should visit the Adirondack Park in New York!!! So much history and beauty there..
This is an enjoyable video; wish it was longer and more in-depth.
That part of Ohio where the Black Swamp is was once covered by a larger version of Lake Erie during the Ice Age. So that whole area was under water.
The presence of pines suggests that Goll Wood is not entirely virgin (i. e., the pines were planted). Regardless, it looks like a nice place.
Correct. Virgin timber stands are nearly non-existent, at least in this part of the U.S. The terminology for types of old growth are often bandied about.
Fun fact: there are 70 acres of old growth inside the city of Detroit in Palmer Park.
What kind of trees were some of those? Swamp white oak?
Buckeye here 😁 Love your videos. Thanks for visiting our great state. BTW, we are not in the midwest technically. Ask Oklahoma! 🤣 Second, wish you'd identify the trees. A great app (not mine nor do they sponsor me or whatnot) is PictureThis. Keep up the good work!
I live in Ohio, by almost all official scholarly sources Ohio is considered part of the Midwest US, Oklahoma usually isnt. Even culturally Ohio is midwestern, with the farmlands, industry and great lakes, much more similar to wisc, indiana , and michigan than PA or WV or KY. Thanks for your support.
Those planks were called berlae in Europe
Hence all the berlins, berlyn, berlens, etc in swampy north from the Neherlands to Galicia
There is no old growth ecology in Iowa and it makes me so depressed. Our lust for animal flesh and ethanol has destroyed precious natural beauty and biodiversity.
Vegan for the forests, and the animals, and the future.
What are you even talking about. I live in Iowa and there are tons of old growth forests in Iowa
@@ImSrry4BeingWhite tons you say?
Please, go on
@@Gwilfawe margo Frankel woods in des moines. Pammel state park in winterset. Some in ames. For cereal
@@ImSrry4BeingWhite I am not sure what operational definition of 'old growth forest' you are using when referencing those tracts.
The definition I refer to is something like - "forests old enough that the tree dominants have reached their natural longevity, died of natural causes and been replaced through natural succession"
By this definition Iowa has no old growth forests.
If I granted that the entirety of the acreages you mentioned as old growth forests (when in reality, only portions of the named areas you've mentioned [136 & 350 acres, respectively] are forested), those two, together total to 0.019% of Iowa's *existing* forest land as of 2020. That calculation itself uses generous numerical values too, rounded up and down in your favor.
The fraction would be more minuscule still, if we made the calculation using historical forest metrics of Iowa.
Does Iowa have 'forests'? sure.
But it ranks 52nd out of 56 US designations for forested land, just before states like South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska.
If I have room to be educated on old growth forest ecology, or forests in Iowa that I am missing out on please let me know.
The natives of those regions were not vegetarians and yet didn't destroy their forests! Most of the great lakes region is used for corn production! Something that goes into many vegan products!
Not so black and white as your vegetarian propaganda pamphlets would tell you!

Promo'SM 🙌
Meh. From the midwest but not OH. Those are not very big.
Though the trees can be huge, Old Growth doesn't necessarily relate to size but age. 100 feet tall is impressive, however.
No homosexual trees either! 😂🤣
