Clearing the Front

We've almost cleared the entire front of the property to the left of the driveway, as you're headed North up the driveway from the road. It was completely overgrown and through the hard work of everyone two weeks ago a lot of progress was made! I cleared for another six hours on the following Sunday and almost finished the remainder of the front by hand.

There was a small stand of young Oaks getting established along the Western edge of the property. I wanted to keep those, as well as all of the persimmons. I also kept well established trees, mainly 5 years or older, of varying species. It was very interesting to see the little clusters of trees living together. A Pine family, overlapping with Oaks, overlapping with Persimmons, but all in their own little stands.

I left three large brush piles behind to save on time, hopefully we'll chip them down soon. I think it will take us three more full days of work to finish up this project, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! You can see straight through from the road all the way to the garden for the first time. You can also see through from the driveway looking West toward the neighbors for the first time.
