Butternut (Juglans cinerea) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 15
Acknowledgements and Authorities Consulted
The butternut literature review by V.R. Fleugel was used as a starting point in putting together the present report. Dr. Mike Ostry, USDA North Central Forest Experiment Station, Henry Kock, University of Guelph Arboretum, and Dr. Martin Hubbes, professor emeritus, University of Toronto, all participated in discussions at the commencement of our report preparation, and we are indebted to their deep interest and open sharing of ideas and literature. Henry Kock and Rob Guthrie provided Tree Atlas data; the Atlas would not have been possible without the many landowners and volunteers who provided info and compiled the data, and financial support from the Ontario Forest Research Institute. The authors also appreciate the contributions of data and information from a variety of contacts.
