I worked a bit at the top of the prairie this year – girdling the big birch at the top edge, and clearing out honeysuckle and other brush from around it. I also cut and removed all the Common Burdock in the woods between Big View Prairie and Western Prairie.
This is the rocky slope below the prairie. Someday I hope to clear most of the trees out of here so it can return to being savanna.
