Complex issues, small fixes.Editor: Another inspiring issue of American Forests American Forests is a nonprofit conservation organization that promotes healthy forests and urban tree planting. The organization was established in 1875 as the American Forestry Association, by physician/horticulturist John Aston Warder and a group of like-minded citizens . Michael Brown's account of the trees of Israel was terrific, as were several other pieces, and I admire the way you make complex issues like global climate change accessible to lay readers and give great people like Mike Dombeck a popular forum. Please note, however, the photo of the Anne Frank tree The Anne Frank Tree is a dark horse-chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) which was prominently featured in Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl. The massive tree was one of the few pieces of nature visible to the young girl from The Annexe, the small building at the bottom of page 14 (Clippings) shows a European buckeye (horsechestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum Aesculus hippocastanum, n See horse chestnut. ), not a chestnut. In Margo Dawley's "Remarkable Trees of Virginia," the Osage in Osage-orange should be capitalized because it is a Native American nation.
