The Ride

I went a four wheeler ride with my sons this last week. We are logging the western portion of the farm and we rode out in this great weather to see the results of the logging. The forest needs to be thinned out by some means. I am sure that before the turn of the century a fire would roar through the forest around here every 25 years. This would open up area for the wildlife and remove the tick pockets of small trees.
A fire went through this forest in the late 1970 and after salvage logging it was just left. It is now so tight that the trees cannot grow and they are a fire hazard waiting to happen. Let’s hope that the resulting forest will recover and product timber, habitat, and wildlife for future generations.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
