Brush fields
I really hate fields full of brush. They're neither fish nor fowl. They bespeak an improvident owner, and wilderness raped to no good end. Yes, they're a necessary step in Nature's reclamation process. So is pus. My aging female neighbor has a field almost taken over by multiflora rose (quite the invasive species here). I've got it on my fences, and need to get rid of it.
Meanwhile, another neighbor has organized several others to get logged by some Amish guy. Supposedly I've been offered $6K for the wood in my woods, even though the previous owner had it logged fairly recently. We're not biting. That's our retirement account, and it will be far better ecologicaly to let more trees get some decent size. And I don't want things torn up...even if the guy is logging with horses, it won't be pretty. We're considering getting the place surveyed, as the lot lines aren't at all clear back there. I'm not saying that an Amishman would poach a particularly nice tree, just that clear markings will reduce the temptation to sin.
