    Getting lots of comments about the format: as I mention in the intro it’s vertical because I made this series for TikTok and after joining CZcams I got a lot of requests to add a compilation here. But good news, I'm making brand new bigger and better map where we get to choose 50 all new trees! If you liked this series this one is even better, trust me.

      Here's another: Washington's state stone is petrified wood, which is what Venice, Italy is sitting on. It was an island built on a large pile of wood, essentially, and so as it has petrified, the city has sunk. I wouldn't wait much longer to visit, if you haven't.
      And Seattle once burnt to the ground just before the 1900s. The city rebuilt upon the ruins and you can take a tour of some of them. Since the pacific coast interacts with the Juan de fuca plate that has been overdue for sixty years to have a massive earthquake, I also wouldn't wait long to visit here because the city will slide off into the sound.

      The United States is called the United States because it is just a bunch of states coming together. This means layers of governments from local to state to federal and is why each state votes to elect representatives for the federal government. As the US grew in size things like trees, birds, and flowers because extremely important since things like fedex and easy access to medicine wasn’t available and these were remedies to a lot of problems. With the development of railroads and other vehicles transportation of resources became a lot easier which meant the dependence on local resources generally decreased. Geography plays an important role in development and causes things like state trees to exist especially when the country develops and moves away from local resource dependency.

    This is a great wood project book czcams.com/users/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

    As a Native Washingtonian I gotta say even though the western hemlock is a lovely tree, the state tree at least to me is still the western red cedar. It's far too important to my tribe and I see it far too often to think otherwise! Just like my grandmother I like to collect fallen branches and dry them to burn the boughs to release tension, nothing else has the ability to relax me like it does and I've been obsessed with the smell my whole life.

      Okay, I just looked it up. Apparently, we were going to make the western red cedar our tree but our state representative at the time said the western hemlock was the backbone of the lumbar industry and better represented the state. Also, we were shamed by Oregon into picking one. Who knew being a state settled for lumbar meant we weren't thinking of proclamating an official tree post WWII (sarcasm, we were probably tired.)

The whole area surrounding the playground didn't even grow any grass because the ground was covered in a thick layer of those long needles. We'd braid them or weave bracelets with them and I am so happy to learn how long humans have been practicing such an art for.
    Unfortunately they're all gone now; a tornado went through a few years ago and knocked them all down.

All these trees have such wonderful uses and I thank so you much for bringing light to them. Since I am from Louisiana and we are talking about trees.

      I would have picked the Kentucky Coffee or Osage Orange as more representative of our state. Tho, Tulip Poplar, due to its relatively soft core, was used to create extensive saltpeter pipelines in numerous caves, including Mammoth Cave, which helped the US in the war of 1812 (aka the second revolutionary war) when England blockaded shipments of gunpowder from India.

It really shows how well planned out this whole thing was and that you committed to consistency and a good show of information. Definitely subbing for more excellent tree content.
