Native Trees Of Rhode Island by Levi Ward Russell. Rhode Island is presented as a natural forest region with climate and soil that support a wide arboreal flora. The work surveys the principal native trees of the state, detailing oaks (white oak, swamp white oak, post oak, red oak, scarlet oak, pin oak, and others) and their characteristics, along with maples, hickories, elms, basswood, tupelo, sassafras, birches, beech, chestnut, and cone-bearing species. It discusses growth habits, habitats, ornamental and economic uses, and the ecological and geographic factors that influence tree distribution. The author emphasizes the value of woodlands for shelter, windbreaks, soil conservation, and timber, and advocates informed planting and management, including ash plantations. The text also reflects on historical trees of significance, such as the Catholic Oak, describes several forms of elm, and stresses the potential of tree planting as a long term investment. It closes with examples of successful tree-planting initiatives and the potential benefits to Rhode Island's landscape and economy.
