Guest Speaker

On Monday in class, we had a quest speaker come in, David Maywhoor. He was from the Buckeye Forest council and he gave a interesting presentation about forests. I found this very relatable to our class because we had just read the book Lost Mountain, and the issue that were dealt with in the book were just like the issue he was describing. David told us that he was working with this council to help save the forest in Ohio. I find this extrmely cool. I know that we are destroying our forest and to know that people out there are actually doing something to stop this, makes me quite happy. I like this organization and the other organizations he mention that help protect our forests and environment.

One thing I did find pretty cool was the bugs that he had talked about that were destroying wood and trees. I never really knew about these and hearing that they were out there and how you could not transfer wood from certain county was quite interesting. These bugs are also destroying the forest but their is nothing we can really do about them. Knowing this makes me really think about what I can do to help keeps the forests around. Since there are so many factors we can't monitor maybe doing something like David Maywhoor and the buckeye forest council is doing could really help the forest. I hope they continue doing this and saving our enviroment because if we lose the forest we will have no natural beauty. We will lose many plant and animal species and these things could be really useful to us.
