With the season well advanced, the saw blade on the brush cutter is passed its prime, but the excellent tool continues to do great work. With a tank this morning completed down the hill several hundred feet, forest management remains a central activity in the woods. With some delicate work in a patch of paper birch, several other trunks were cut, mainly balsam fir. The remaining trees are enjoying the brilliant sunshine on a very pleasant morning.
The brush cutter also goes to work thinning weeds to help oaks. These two small ones, living almost totally in shade, are probably not destined for long life, but they are better off than a few minutes before. Sometimes hope is all an oak needs.
