Friday forest management

A tank from the little saw did nice work north of the house on a cool November morning.  Also, we decided to cut the pin cherry group just west of the house so the blueberry bushes -- pictured  with their protective cages and after pre-winter mulching --  can receive more sun in the spring. 


Some thinning further out will help several young sugar maples, birches, and oaks receive more sun. The firewood from this project will not burn for about two years. The main target for this part of today's work was several red maple stump sprouts (with a small amount of white ash, visible below, in the mix).  Pieces from two main piles will move up to the house, then get cut to length.
