Helping oaks in the snow

After three inches of snow this a.m. (yes, three inches of snow on May 9), some work was done with loppers and the bowsaw in the afternoon.  In three locations about 500 feet apart, elbow grease gave some young oaks a better chance to get what every tree likes best:  sunlight.

Here's a before/after example of the thinning taking place at one of the work sites.  More thinning also occurred bit to the right of the pic.  With the removal of several conifers, the oaks will enjoy more sunlight all year, especially in the colder months.


Here's a picture of some future firewood taken this p.m.  Happy "Spring" to all!
