I smelled the log today but couldn't quite identify it. I was told that in the area where I collected the logs, there are beech and cherry blossom trees.

Hi all,

My father and I collected some logs after the recent storm and are trying to identify what type of tree they came from. We’d greatly appreciate any help! I find it quite challenging to identify trees without their leaves. Thanks in advance! Logs were collected in Dublin, Ireland.

Thank you Eric,

I'll try my best.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

Thank you Timothy

I don’t have any previous experience working on a farm, but I’ve had a small back garden where I’ve grown vegetables on a small scale in my spare time. I’ve successfully grown potatoes, carrots, green beans, lettuce, garlic, onions, broccoli, and a few other crops. It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m excited to expand my knowledge and skills.

Hello all! I'm delighted to join this community and looking forward to learning from everyone here.

My name is Dave and I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I am interested in becoming more self sufficient. I have some practical experience in growing vegetables and fishing. This year I am traveling to America where I will volunteer for a few months in the Hurricane relief. Around April I will head up to Canada where I hope to volunteer on self sufficient farms. Hopefully there I will get the chance to learn about growing organic food, raising animals, hunting, foraging, fishing, building work, woodwork and processing animals. By doing this I hope to see if this sort of life is for me.

I'm a member of WWOOF Canada and will apply for volunteer opportunities through the website. If anyone has any other recommendations, I would be very happy to hear them.

Thanks for reading
Dave
