A before/after duo shows evidence of the lopping and bow sawing that occurred in the early afternoon today. The red oak on the left gained sunlight after a few paper birches and one conifer were taken down. The red maple stump sprout in the center of the picture has been wounded a bit by the pole saw. The entire clump will go this spring with the little chainsaw. The oak is deformed somewhat, likely due to the twisting the tree attempted to find more sun. But any fan of this blog knows, "Never give up on an oak."
About 300 feet to the west, a group of young paper birches basked in the most sun we've had in quite some time.
