    You bet - I've been interested in this for years but I never really made a serious effort. More passive...

    But with that, I must say, my interest in it has changed. I'm not really much interested in the biggest or oldest trees, but more about the structures of these forest and how they evolve from disturbance, both natural, and human influenced.

    It just so happens the forest preserve is the absolute best lab for this because it really has it all, whether it had been demolished by logging and/or human induced fire, whether it was "virgin" and has been preserved, or whether it was "virgin" and has been naturally disturbed by wind and fire.
