Hi all! I’m maintaining a young white birch forest in my grandparents backyard. I’m puzzled on the proper time them to prune them. I’m seeing mixed reviews. ChatGPT says to prune during dormancy period (mid-October to late-April). Plants.usda.gov says not to prune white birch or other birches until summer because they are “bleeders” and should not be cut when the sap is flowing. Now, I did see sap oozing out this ‘older’ birch I cut down after a day or two back in April 20. I hope that’s helpful. Thanks again.

Endangered sharks are being killed at alarming levels in the Pacific and industrial fishing is putting marine biodiversity at increasing risk, Greenpeace has claimed, after its activists disrupted a Spanish vessel operating north of New Zealand.
The campaign group said activists on the Rainbow Warrior this week observed a longline fishing operation by the Playa Zahara in the South Fiji Basin.
Cutting off the animals’ horns more effective than traditional protection methods such as rangers and costs less, say experts
Cutting the horns off rhinos causes a large reduction in poaching, according to a new study, which raises questions about the effectiveness of expensive anti-poaching techniques used to protect the African mammals.
Poaching for horn is a significant threat to the world’s five rhino species. The substance, which is similar to human fingernails, is commonly used for traditional medicine in China, Vietnam and other Asian countries. Dealers in the hidden market will pay tens of thousands of dollars for the horns, which are falsely believed to be effective at treating fevers, pain and a low sex drive in traditional medicine.
