Trees are hard,especially in winter - Butternuts Edition

My dad is interested in finding some butternut trees. All the ones on the farm have died or are close to dead. That might mean it's not the best place to plant them but he's hoping if we find a drier spot we could get some new ones going. We're pretty sure we solidly ID'd one of the trees as butternut but then were rapidly overcome by self doubt. But I had fund poking around in the woods and flipping logs looking for whatever else was around in Kashong Conservation Area in late December.

We were just looking for them to ID them. Not relocating anything.
