Welcome to my very first blog ever! This blog has been created primarily for my Writing and Computers class at West Chester University, so bear with me if the blog ever starts to read like an assignment. Hopefully, I’ll keep this blog up even after the class ends, because, fortunately, the topic of our blogs has been left open to us. Whenever I have an open topic for a class, I get very excited about trees. Since this blog is for school (and I’ve never blogged or really read blogs before) a lot of posts may end up seeming rushed and filled with inexperience, and to be frank, I’m not sure about what sort of format I want to go for yet. I know I want to set up something about tree identification. I get giddy every time I find myself able to identify a tree, so let’s make this a learning experience together! I’ll probably start out sticking to my immediate area: the woods around my house, the trees on campus, and trees around where I work and volunteer. I’ll take a photo of a tree, do my best to identify it, and blog to you, my dear reader, about everything I can find out about that species.
I haven’t decided yet all the content I’ll post, but some ideas I have are tree mythology, gender, carbon sequestering, care, and holistic medicines. I’ll definitely include how to identify that species of tree by leaf shape, bark texture, and fruit. I’m no expert, so if you spot an inaccuracy, please let me know and we can correct that mistake. If I don’t feel 100% certain of some information, I’ll let you know my doubts about it. I’m not here to make wild claims. I’m here to expand my tree knowledge.
