Burn, Baby, Burn...


Day Two of Operation Cherry Bomb.

It's a roller coaster of emotions as I happily take out a lot of black knot fungus, then discover a patch of mature black cherry trees that have to be cut down.

Carrying by hand whole trees to a burning pit really drives home the need to cut access trails throughout a woodlot. Everything flows from the trail system. I spent most of my time today walking to and from the fire pit instead of depositing the cut limbs and trees along a trail for ATV pick-up.

I'll keep up with the cutting with a few hours here and there. I'd like to devote all my time to it, but there's so many things I need to do right now.

I cut down the cherry tree the old fashioned way.
