Comment: Oh darn, no live trees. I was very excited about having  our prisoners dig up ALL of our dadgummed alders and send them. Alder is usually the first tree when glaciers recede, they fix nitrogen and even with a little ash can improve the soil for better growth for the next trees. If you have bare soil plant cottonwoods, they produce billions of windblown seeds and grow much quicker than evergreens, the ponies love the bark. Evergreens often germinate best on bare soil, after a fire, grazing or probably ash fall, spruce are naturally spreading at Dutch Harbor from trees the soldiers planted in WWII.
What about Sugar Maples, great color for tourists and start a little industry for food independence, on formally bare rivers in SE Alaska sweet clover has taken over, another nitrogen fixer and honey producer.
If very careful about bringing honey bees to have a varroa free population they might be able to get involved in Queen production. Willows and sweet clover help that industry. So muchwin
