Great article Jesse! Your love of the land is obvious. Out here in Colorado we're seeing the same kind of development -- our population is exploding and everyone wants a view of the mountains.

Jesse, This is a good piece for me to read. My land is so much like yours, just not quite as high up towards the mountain. Over the years, some friends from Grand Isle have come and harvested some trees, leaving me with firewood and taking some for themselves . Now they (and I of course) are more aged. Brendan Haynes has done some cutting for me. We have all been careful to leave brush piles for wildlife, cut to thin and leave sunlight for other trees etc. but we are not experts.

Ethan Tapper walked the woods with me years ago but did not paint any trees that could go; would it be a good idea to have him come again??
