In Mushroom Wood, Reclaimed Hemlock Wood. Wood is universally beautiful to man. It is the most humanly intimate of all materials. Otherwise known as hemlock reclaimed wood, mushroom wood has an inspiring and historical sustainability story attached to its derivation. This name is a bit misleading since the wood is not actually made from mushrooms. This wood is used to line the boxes of mushroom crops at mushroom growing facilities today and as far back in history as 1896. The wood s unique...

Trees remove air pollution by the interception of particulate matter on plant surfaces and the absorption of gaseous pollutants through the leaf stomata. However, the magnitude and value of the effects of trees and forests on air quality and human health across the United States remains unknown. Computer simulations with local environmental data reveal that trees and forests in the conterminous United States removed 17.4 million tonnes (t) of air pollution in 2010 (range: 9.0-23.2 million t), wi...

Ann Arbor's Urbanwood Project is taking the reclaimed lumber trend to the next level. Wood means home to me. Even the smell of the lumber section at Home Depot conjures up childhood memories. “What most people think of when they think of reclaimed and salvaged wood is wood that has already been used for another purpose — wood that comes out of a barn, or wood that comes out of a building that’s been demolished,” says Jessica Simons, coordinator at Urbanwood Project. Instead, the project creat...

A broad scale analysis of tree risk, mitigation and potential habitat for cavity-nesting birds

Trees in towns and cities provide habitat for wildlife. In particular, cavity-nesting birds nest in the dead and decayed stems and branches of these trees. The same dead and decayed stems and branches also have a greater likelihood of failure, which, in some circumstances, increases risk. We examined 1760 trees in Baltimore, MD, USA and western MA, USA, assessing tree risk and, for a sub-sample, noting the presence of cavity nests excavated by birds. In Baltimore, most trees were in areas of fre...

Climate change is a world-wide issue, and it may seem as if only actions by national governments can work effectively against it. In fact individuals and small communities, too, can make wise choices and impacts. Communities can mitigate climate change through reducing fossil fuel consumption and good management of its urban forest. Urban trees can reduce concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide by storing carbon in their roots, stems, and branches. Urban forests can also help reduce carbon ...
