Very interesting stuff!<br /><br />Meleah Rebeccah - I can understand that. Can you eat stuff like that or is it a no-no?<br /><br />ShadowRun300 - I am OK with these trees being cut - the area is designated woodland so will either be replanted or allowed to do its own thing. Both are good for the environment.<br /><br />Agg79 - These have not been felled for building, although there is plenty of new building planned on land that should not be built in...<br /><br />Ninny - Hi!

Definitely spoiled.<br /><br />Would be interesting to see your journal of how things change in that clearing. It always bothers me when progress seems to take precedent over nature in those cases. Would rather see the trees than some new store or parking lot. <br /><br />Good luck, Xerxes.

I have a feeling she loves spoiling you as much as you love being spoiled!<br />I'm curious if it bothers you that they are cutting down those trees. We have had a few places cleared around here, and for some reason it makes me sad. If it's somehow beneficial, then I suppose I can understand. But I couldn't see how our last clearing was beneficial... Then again, I may not be in the "need to know" loop.

I like your idea of a woodland log (as in journal, not "log from the woodland"!). There are scientists doing ongoing study of the changes from last summer's wildfire. I learned they are known as "geomorphologists". You can be Geomorphologist Rock Chef!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.com
