Forty-five species the forest inventory, the original land survey and the natural-community appendices name as trees.
The number on each card is how many pieces of survey evidence name it. It counts documents, not stems. A species named in two hundred stand comments is genuinely common; one named twice may be common and simply unremarked.
252 evidence records, the most of any tree here. Smooth grey bark that holds carved initials for decades - a detail shot.

The tree the lumber companies came for. Any very large one is a survivor of that - photograph it against something for scale.
