RE: Taking a short break from posting to refresh my mind and work on projects on the homestead

in #homesteading7 years ago

What exactly do you mean? I am by no means deforesting anything. I have 18 acres of forest that would have went to a developer that would have built 30 plus houses here and removed all of the trees. The paths I’m clearing are just paths through the forest. This can actually spur on growth by the other trees and canopy will close. It’s only deforestation if the ecosystem ceases to be a forest. Where I’m clearing, it will continue to be a forest ecosystem.

Secondly if I remove all the pine (a pioneer species in my climate and soil) the maple and beach understory will take over and move toward a climax forest. I love the forest, it’s the life blood of my homestead and land, there isn’t one tree removed thoughtlessly.

Hope you are enjoying your break from Steemit. I am about to take a 2-3week break also!

Hopefully can come back with a colorful and vamped up @healthy-home

Peace

Hope yours went well!

Not sure when I will be back completely.
