Texas Trees
Posted on 17th Aug 2015
Texas Trees – history lesson.
Have you visited the Texas Forestry Museum? It’s one of the largest museums of its kind in the United States. It is a fun place for the whole family to look at the past, present and future of trees - How we grow trees, harvest trees, transport trees, process trees, and use trees in our daily lives. Featured exhibits include Sawmill Town, Paper Mill, Money Trees, logging train, fire tower, and Urban Wildscape Trail.
Texas trees are not always viewed as icons of the state. The Lone Star State, usually brings visions of cattle, cowboys and oil wells. However, between 1890 and 1900, the timber business of Texas brought more money to the economy of the state than any other industry.
The 14 million acres of the East Texas Pineywoods are still important to Texas. Sawmills, logging railroads, and modern forest management have all influenced East Texas culture. The story of the people, places and products of the Pineywoods are the focus of the exhibits at the Texas Forestry Museum.
Why, because even though 1 out of 6 Americans suffer tree allergies, Texans love their trees. They are great for climbing, for getting some desperately needed August shade or as easy-to-remember landmarks for locals giving directions to tourists or new comers.
The Texas trees are beautiful and it’s no wonder the Forest Service has designated a growing number of "Famous Trees of Texas." In the past 40-plus years, they've given the designation to 87 trees, 65 of which are still living.
The trees can be famous for their beauty, for their historical significance or for having a special place in the hearts of locals. Do you celebrate the Texas trees or curse them for the allergies they induce every Spring and Fall?
Don’t miss out on the Texas Forestry Museum exhibits or a chance for a fun family vacation. Plan ahead by taking an allergy medication or supplement such as Allergena Trees, Weeds, and Grass. Using this product once daily, can act as a supplement to lessen the severity of tree allergies.
