Oak Grove

One of the long term projects is to “re-establish” an Oak Grove on the property. Wherever Jack Pines are removed, Red and White Oaks germinate from the soil’s seed bed. Of course they’re never quite where they are wanted, so one project is to slowly transplant some smaller ones in order to create an Oak Grove. While they are slow growing and not the easiest trees to transplant by hand, they’ll make for some mighty fine shade for years to come.

This is one that was transplant three years ago. Every Fall wire cages are placed around them to protect them from rabbits, deer, and squirrels.
