Logging Project In The Works

Had a forester out for a visit to discuss management of the trees here on The Platz.  There are a few spots where The Frau and I can wag the chainsaw out next winter to release selected handfuls of valuable trees by dropping the conifers that are crowding their canopies.

There is even a location on the east border of the middle field that would lend itself to an aspen patch cut - a timber stand improvement (TSI) project.  More on that another day.

It's the northern-most field that needs help.

Yup, it is in need of pre-commercial thinning.  Something I'm not capable of doing anymore giving the scale of the project.  So I guess it's time to interview loggers.
