Controlled destruction

While some berry picking happened yesterday morning, the small saw went to work, as well.  The thinning focused on several clumps of red maple stump sprouts.  The controlled destruction seems quite chaotic, but it's actually focused on the forest management goal of removing less desirable growth to ensure more sun to favored species.  The mess will get cleaned up after the tropical storm! The weather will be great for several days starting Wednesday morning.
