Texas Trees Allergies– and a trip to the Forestry Museum.
Have you visited the Texas Forestry Museum? It’s one of the largest museums of its kind
in the United States. It is a fun place
for the whole family to look at the past, present and future of trees - How we
grow trees, harvest trees, transport trees, process trees, and use trees in our
daily lives. Featured exhibits include Sawmill Town, Paper Mill, Money Trees, logging
train, fire tower, and Urban Wildscape Trail.
Texas trees are not always viewed as icons of the state. The
Lone Star State, usually brings visions of cattle, cowboys and oil wells.
However, between 1890 and 1900, the timber business of Texas brought more money
to the economy of the state than any other industry.
The 14 million acres of the East Texas Pineywoods are still
important to Texas. Sawmills, logging railroads, and modern forest management
have all influenced East Texas culture. The story of the people, places and
products of the Pineywoods are the focus of the exhibits at the Texas Forestry
Museum.
Why, because even though 1 out of 6 Americans suffer tree
allergies, Texans love their trees. They
are great for climbing, for getting some desperately needed August shade or as
easy-to-remember landmarks for locals giving directions to tourists or new
comers.
The Texas trees are beautiful and it’s no wonder the Forest
Service has designated a growing number of "Famous Trees of Texas."
In the past 40-plus years, they've given the designation to 87 trees, 65 of
which are still living.
The trees can be famous for their beauty, for their
historical significance or for having a special place in the hearts of locals. Do you celebrate the Texas trees or curse
them for the allergies they induce every Spring and Fall?
Don’t miss out on the Texas Forestry Museum exhibits or a
chance for a fun family vacation.
Plan ahead by taking an allergy medication or supplement such
as Allergena Trees, Weeds, and Grass. Using this
product once daily, can act as a supplement to lessen the severity of tree allergies.
