6/19/2020  The grassy area around these trees used to be full of Canada Thistle.  I sprayed it, but now it’s all non-native cool season grasses.

6/19/2020  The lowest part of this slope is the steep edge of the driveway.  Above that is a prairie area we planted in 2017/2018.  Above that is the east-facing slope of Indian Grass Point that we cleared of brush and small trees in the fall of 2016.
