Progress on Field Restoration

1/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Clearing work has begun on the two once-and-future fields adjacent to the brook.  A second pass will be done on these fields in the spring to grind the stumps, which are currently buried in deep snow, down to ground level.  The clearing will benefit the native trees that we have left, including the big sugar maple tree shown below, and the restored fields will eventually attract birds, such as woodcock, that need open areas for their mating rituals.

After completion of these two fields, the clearing work will move uphill to some other portions of our land.

    Tom and Patricia Norton have owned this land since June 2013.  We live in Thetford, VT, and love coming to Dothan Brook frequently to explore the trails, to watch the Brook, and to see how many different species of plants and animals we can find.  We are pleased to welcome you to this beautiful land.
