Fall Reforestation
This week brought us one of our favorite kind of replanting jobs. The sustainable & biodiverse reforestation of pastureland. The property owner recognized that annual mowing was not a winning strategy. It is a unique property here in Afton that hugs a creek line at its border while a sunken spring runs underneath. We worked with the property owner, who lives here part time, to select species that could not only handle & thrive in hydric (wet) conditions but also provide maximum benefit to wildlife. All the critters will soon enjoy a grove of Native Persimmons & Paw-Paws, Arrowwood Viburnum, Button Bush, Red-Twig Dogwoods, and a Noble Legacy Tree, the Swamp White Oak.
