What we  have is lots and lots of native beech. It has an unfortunate

American Beech's native range comes just into the extreme eastern
counties of Wisconsin.  I drove over there from the western edge  of
the State one spring to get some seedlings.  I knew about the  propagation
by root suckering, so I had a variety of shovels and axes along to  handle
that situation.
 
I was able to get out two seedlings, each about 4' in height, and  fastened
them in the back of my SUV.  I was just getting ready to leave when  a
shot rang out and hit the fence post about ten feet away.
 
I made quick tracks to the West.
 
The two beech seedlings survived and were doing well when I
left Wisconsin for Pennsyvlvania.
 
I later found out that though I was digging in the state owned ditch,
I was along land owned by the Posse Comitatus, a right wing
white supremacy group.  They had apparently made it clear that I
was not welcome.
