CNC, there are only a handful of pines in this whole 6 acre or so area so that isn’t a concern. There are a few larger @ 12” diameter trees that are broken or upturned and leaning from the storms that I plan to take down completely. I initially considered coming in and clearing a couple acres off for a plot but the low, wet nature of the location won’t support that idea. I do believe I could get some yucci clover established on the areas that already support grasses and maybe something else seasonal with a little more light. I’m already planning to cut a SxS trail in there for hauling game out. May as well make a day of it and do some other small improvements.
