I noticed these Hunt timberland properties on both sides of the road have been cleared of underbrush and I have all kinds of questions about it. Are they clearing the underbrush for fear of drought and fire? Are they clearing it so the big machines can get in to cut it all down? Why did they clear and clearcut so much land this year and is it because of higher taxes on timberland that sits? What's going on here? Just an inquiring mind wanting to know, even though it really is none of my business. The temps get a whole lot hotter without these trees and the critters and varmints have to go somewhere. Copperheads and timber rattlers love pine forests... I really don't want them heading my way. Yikes!
oh no, I don't hope they cut those trees down, Hopefully its just maintenance and prevention. It is a beautiful sight those trees along the road, would be a boring ride without them.
@mittens Thank you, Marilyn!
@wakelys My good neighbor might know. I'll ask him when I see him.
@ludwigsdiana I realize they will be cut eventually. Just hope it's no time soon.
@photographycrazy Thank you!
@kvphoto I hope not and why can't they harvest in the winter time when it's cold around here anyway? LOL!
@corinnec Thank you, Corinne!
