I have been visiting as many sites as I can on the "harvest" map before
comments close (locked down now unfortunately). The most recent had a humongous healthy
Old Growth beech on it and lots of smaller ones. It is scheduled to be clearcut (10%
retention). I have been told time and again by L&F and conservation officials that
there is no interest in beech conservation when I draw extremely rare healthy beech in
condemned stands to their attention.
With kindest regards

 To clarify, I was wondering if there was any point in trying to re-establish Beech
here once the existing ones are gone. When would it be worth the effort, if ever?
It seems that the National Tree Seed Centre is not well-stocked with American Beech seed,
by the way.

they turned out to be a European species!).
