After harvesting

Bob is pictured in late January on one of the trails after harvesting.   You can see that the area is left with good cover and remaining tree density.   We have a red pine plantation area that we are tending as well as the balance of the property, which is all forested in mainly poplar, maple and oak.  The harvesting was for poplar and we hope to have 50 years or so of caregiving to the place to let the maple and oak really develop.   We are making the paths left by the forwarder and harvesting into walking paths, that's a good 50 year job.  No fear of running out of something to do.
