The Mighty Oak - America's National Tree
Saturday July 4, 2009
Nearly Five years after being voted the United States' favorite tree, Congressional passage and presidential signing of an historic bill made it official in 2004 - the Oak was selected as America's National Tree. The actual voting took 4 months to cast and tally but did not become official for years after that vote.
The oak tree was selected from 21 candidate trees based on broad tree categories (genera) that included the State Trees of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Redwood was selected as runner-up in the Arbor Day Foundation supported effort.

Hello Steve,
I’ve read your interesting blog. Now, I am working around a project to create an Firewood Stock Up Center, as bussiness model, to stock up, to dry and to exchange dried firewood for wet firewood. One of main objectives is to reduce the consumption of wet firewoood which cause a severe air pollution in some towns in the south of Chile. Do you have some information or references about this type bussiness model?
I would appreciate very much your support
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Best regards
