What happens here

Still in the forest, Josh points out different tree types by their bark, including white oak (firm bark), sourwood tree (source of honey), black gum tree (produces star-shaped balls), wild cherry tree (beautiful pink-tinged, fragrant wood), and red oak (red tint in fall, firm bark) vs. white oak (flakier bark, produces acorns). He stresses the importance of knowing about the trees on one's land.

Goal: Educate viewers on identifying common tree species by their bark.
