2012 ushers in many new things. Who would have thought that it might feel like spring in the middle of January? It may seem odd but it certainly feels better than 5 degrees with windchills reaching well below that number.
2011 was an enjoyable year at Hickory Ridge Forestry. We had the opportunity to work on a number of amazing projects, restore incredible properties, and meet some really great people. Savanna restoration was a large portion of the 2011 season and in the end several properties along the Loess Hills were involved with the savanna restoration project.
We’ll be heading back to the Loess Hills State Forest near Pisgah, IA for the remainder of the 2012 winter season. It is strange to head back to those woods in January without fridged temperatures and snow, but the complaints will remain to a minimum.
HRF is also greatly anticipating the coming of the next couple weeks as we await the arrival of the newest member of our team. We’ll soon have a baby girl to help settle the balance of testosterone at home in the HRF household!!!
