For decades the czar of power tools has been the internal combustion engine. The image of a burly, flannel-clad feller wielding a two-stroke monster chainsaw has been burned into the cultural zeitgeist. With the advent of battery technology and its steady improvements, are those stereotypes going the way of the dodo? Is the modern tree worker carrying a chainsaw powered by the same technology as an electric toothbrush any less burly? Any less flannel-clad?

These trees were used as a food sources for the Kalapuya people in the Willamette Valley. They were open-grown individual trees due to their fire land management practices. You can recognize them from a distance by the classic tree shape of their canopy in an open field, and up close by their iconic leaf shape and oak galls.On this episode of the Tree Thinking Podcast we talk about a local legend who’s native range extends from southern California to British Columba, and personal is one of my favorite trees, (Quercus garryana) The Oregon white oak.If you want to get the crew some beer click here: — <a href="https://redcircle.com/tree-thinking/donations" rel="nofollow">https://redcircle.com/tree-thinking/donations</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/tree-thinking/donations'>https://redcircle.com/tree-thinking/donations</a>
