It’s been a considerable amount of time since the last post. I’m not the most technologically advanced forester and it’s been a whirlwind of the last 2.5 years or so.
With that being said….
2017 is shaping up to be a busy year!!! Multiple TSI projects, Tree Planting, Mechanical Clearing, and other projects dot the landscape for HRF for a year filled with great conservation efforts. I’ll be bringing the camera out with me this year in an effort to do a better job documenting restoration this year.
Until then, stay safe and have a wonderful new year!!!
October has finally ushered in traditional cool weather. Gusty north winds blow while the air is crisp. The foliage is starting to change color ever so slightly and our sun’s position has noticeably changed. Although our summer was comfortable, the fall weather is a nice change of pace. This new season shows the succession of our world as it begins to wind down and prepare for the coming winter.
HRF will be busy working on projects from Minnesota to Kansas and places in-between. We’ll keep track of the seasonal changes and report nature’s beauty across the region. It’s time for stocking caps and flannel shirts…let the fall colors blaze in…let the winds blow.
As we usher in yet another new year HRF is excited to announce five years of successful operation in southwest IA and areas beyond. Over the course of the last five years thousands of acres of land have been improved and revitalized by active landowners and state agencies. HRF has been privileged to lead the way in those efforts.
The cold January hills of the Loess Hills State Forest once again beckon HRF for a winter project. We will undertake 150 acres of restorative work and ensure future high quality woodlands in LHSF’s area.
Thanks to all who have helped to make HRF successful and have in turn become excellent stewards of their respective properties. HRF greatly looks forward to the next five years of amazing projects and amazing people. We wish you all the best of fortunes in 2014.
