    "The treehouses are absolutely amazing! Our family stayed in Rafter G and Double H. Such a unique experience from the treehouses, field of games, and layers of decks, i could go on and on. You have to experience River Ranch to fully understand. Our entire family from 9 to 68 had a great time. You can be as busy as you like, relaxing on the decks, soaking in the hot tubs, watching the wildlife or playing the games in the field, its up to you. You can tell the owners Todd and Missy had a vision when they creatied such a unique place. They care about their guests and go out of their way to make sure you know. It was so sweet of them to acknowledge that we were celebrating our 50th anniversary, we were greeted in the treehouse with a cake and note of congratulations. I feel extremely confident in recommending treehouses at river ranch. I am so happy it is only over an hour from home so we can return again soon! Thank you for giving our family an amazing weekend at your treehouses!"

Northern Tree Habitats - Geophysical Institute
Interior Alaskan forests have only six native tree species: white spruce, black spruce, quaking aspen, balsam poplar, larch (tamarack) and paper birch. Northern Canadian forests have all of those, plus jack pine, balsam fir and lodgepole pine. Since northern Canada and interior Alaska share the same grueling climate and extremes of daylength, why are the Canadian tree species absent from ...

The majesty and mystery of Alaska yellow cedar | Geophysical Institute
A tree near one of our campsites had a crack at its base through which we could pass the folded saw. Yet the tree was still alive, with just one rope of cambium — the outer bark that transports water and nutrients — snaking up the trunk. A few of its blue-green feathery leaves flagged from the top of what otherwise looked like a snag.

Tree Rings and History | Geophysical Institute
A tree's age can be easily determined by counting its growth rings, as any Boy or Girl Scout knows. Annually, the tree adds new layers of wood which thicken during the growing season and thin during the winter. These annual growth rings are easily discernible (and countable) in cross-sections of the tree's trunk. In good growing years, when sunlight and rainfall are plentiful, the growth rings ...

The largest black spruce in Alaska | Geophysical Institute
The tree leans uphill, and its trunk is 45 inches around. When I hugged it, I could barely clasp my hands together. The largest black spruce in Alaska is a lucky tree, because its neighbors to the north are gone, removed in the mid-1990s during the installation of a power line.

The secret life of red squirrels | Geophysical Institute
Stan Boutin has climbed more than 5,000 spruce trees in the last 30 years. He has often returned to the forest floor knowing if a ball of twigs and moss within the tree contained newborn red squirrel pups. Over the years, those squirrels have taught Boutin and his colleagues many things, including an apparent ability to predict the future.

Trees as Earthquake Fault Indicators | Geophysical Institute
Then using tree ring dating methods, it may be possible to date earthquakes occurring before historical records were kept. The ability to identify and date very large earthquakes occurring within the past thousand years is important in establishing earthquake risk and for predicting future earthquakes.

Witches' Broom | Geophysical Institute
Witches' broom on spruce trees is caused by a rust disease (a kind of fungus disease). The rust lives on the spruce tree throughout the year. Each spring, small yellow pustules appear on the new needles of the broom. A strong sweet odor, which is easily recognizable, usually accompanies the maturation of these pustules.

More on Why Tree Trunks Spiral | Geophysical Institute
I eventually found a tree with a spiral lightning mark and it followed the spiral grain exactly. One tree, of course, proves nothing. "But why should the tree spiral? More speculation here: Foliage tends to be thicker on the south side of the tree because of better sunlight.

The Life of A White Spruce In The Subarctic | Geophysical Institute
This majestic tree is one of the most commercially important species in the Interior, it is valued for the houselogs, firewood, and other products that are derived from it. In fact, it has been and still is the most important tree in the subsistence life of the Alaska Athabascans, who use all parts of the tree including the roots and resin.
