/

Doug Wiles, Bismarck City Forester recaps Bismarck, ND, Arbor Day celebration and how they spent the day with some kids from Liberty Elementary.

Doug explains what “Urban Forestry” and what is means to a city and community. Jason asks Doug his opinion or comments on the survival rate in an Urban environment, which is about 50%.

The “herd mentality” of North Dakota’s tree planting past was also discussed. In the past the state would plant thousands of elm trees only to lose them to Dutch Elm Disease. This was followed by a similar plant to death cycle with Ash Trees and beetles. Doug explains why planting diversity in forestry is the new normal in planting.

Jason and Doug discuss how oil and gas has been contributing to the city’s tree planting program and how The Industrial Forest will assist the city of Bismarck with information gathering and solving a tree planting problems.
