@Jesusway1988 @DSeymoursLife The wooly adelgid got most of not all the hemlocks.

@secnumbersguy No.

@vintagemapstore As a wildlife biologist in SC I can confirm SC has the American Red Squirrel in the NW corner of our state. We have a sliver of the Appalachians and that’s where they reside.

@DSeymoursLife Also if maintained with fire you’ll see wildflowers and plant species not seen in decades.

@DSeymoursLife Lob and white pine that was planted in the 70s was never meant to grow there. Let native pines and oak hickory forests regen. the avg age of the forest on the AP is 120 years old. So many species that need young forest are suffering. Just 5% young forest would be helpful

@Robbie347 Oh the bands I saw…

@andrewschmidt24 @CyrusBaird What is this Braves thing you speak of…

College football starts August 23.

[michael hook @hook_michael]

@ClemsonTom Nope. Still on the loose. And I would know. I’m a wildlife biologist in SC.

@T_Oglesby22 That’s exactly what Terry Oglesby would say.

@babowling12 With all the trees on the ground, sunlight will hit the forest floor and wildflowers who haven’t been seen in decades will blanket the mountainsides.

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

Last Tuesday the last living member of The Band Garth Hudson passed away.

Rest in peace. The Band officially has no living representatives.

@EFisherWX If there’s a bright side to the destruction, it may be that areas like these will become home to ruffed grouse and golden wing warblers that desperately needed early successional habitat in the mountains.

[The Clemson Corps @ClemsonCorps]

Take a behind the scenes look at the @ClemsonFB Military Appreciation Day flyover of 2 F-35A Lightning II jets from 62nd Fighter Squadron at @LukeAFB, AZ. Special thanks to pilots Lt Col Casey "Deuce" Manning (Clemson 2005) and Lt Col Jason "Chill" Wall!

@mark_wildlife1 @JamesCallicutt @MSU_CFR @MSUWFA Thanks for posting this Mark! I’ll give it a listen and pass it around!

[michael hook @hook_michael]

@EFisherWX It’s hard to believe now but this will regenerate faster than you would believe. There will be wildflowers that pop up that haven’t been seen in decades.

@CyrusBaird I’d pay good money for one of those sofas. Got some of my best sleep there.
