Hidden Oaks Savanna – 2021

[To see photos and stories of this prairie in other years, go to the links on the main Hidden Oaks Savanna page.]

This year Mike did his usual mowing of the savanna area in the spring. I did a little cutting and treating of buckthorn and other brush near the entrance to the savanna from the Narrows Prairie. And I spent several days pulling Queen Anne’s Lace from the prairie remnant and the recovering savanna around it.

Many of the dead trees – mostly ones I girdled many years ago – are starting to fall, so Mike spent several mornings picking up the fallen trees – moving them to our big brush piles – and cutting and treating invading buckthorns.
