4-H Forestry: Part 3 of 30
Tree Identification
In Part 3, former Tallapoosa County Extension Coordinator Tommy Futral discusses the processes involved in identifying different types of trees. Topics covered are leaf types, leaf arrangements, leaf shapes, tree bark, and other features used to identify tree species. The Alabama 4-H website contains more information.
Parts 3 through 30 of this video series will follow in the coming weeks and will cover topics such as compass use and pacing, forestry diseases, and forestry insects.
Asthma: Part 5 of 6
The Peak Flow Meter
This video introduces the peak flow meter, a small device that can measure a person's ability to breathe out air, and the proper technique to use when blowing into one. It can be used to help decide if a person has good air flow. Using a peak flow meter is like having an early warning system for asthma, and every asthma patient should have one.
Part 6 will follow in the coming weeks and will describe the nebulizer inhaler.
Butterfly Gardens
This four-page color publication is designed to help you attract butterflies to your own garden—simply by accommodating their four stages of development: egg, caterpillar (or larva), chrysalis, and winged adult. Includes tables of larval food plants for particular species and of nectar sources for adult butterflies.
