I Love Trees

I love trees and it is breaking my heart to have to take down so many around my little house in the woods. Our state has been devasteted by the Emerald Ash Bore.

Hi Mae

Take heart. While it's hard for us to watch - I read in a book how things like this are fixed over time and are part of how the forest will rejuvenate itself.

@SweetMae It is - it talks about how those little tiny skinny saplings, maybe 4 feet tall? How they are actually like 20-25 years old, they have developed root systems and they are just waiting for an opening in the canopy, so they can race skyward....so don't step on them!

@fun4us2b Oh no! I wouldn't do that.
