Teaching: Anyone elses thoughts or experiences

[jrcat]

I started teaching tree identification to my girl friends nephew this past weekend. He seems very eager to learn and soaked up every word I told him. He wants to learn to cut but I dont know enough myself to teach some one else to cut. Plus he is only 13. So I figured that learning what grows in our area is as good a place to start as any. My father (rip) taught me what was what at a young age. I could pick out hard/soft maple ,cherry, beech, , ash ,basswood, hemlock and countless others by the time I was 10. I never had a saw in my hands until I was 15. But I was running dozer and skidding by 12 lol. Anyway, the kid is teachable and I will do what I can for him. My small contribution I guess.
