Today was burn day.
I should probably tell the members from California and Oregon, who may be somewhat disturbed by the following images, that the forests here are so wet, the only way to start a forest fire is by calling the air force for a Napalm strike.
Our World is changing.
Now it is more about " rewilding" than logging timber.
As a forester my age said to me: "2 choices. Say bullshit and quit or get really good at it"
We've chosen the second option. That is why we've worked so hard on the bat and dormouse projects.
This rewilding project has been granted 13 million $.
We aim to see that as many of those as possible end up in our pockets.
So for it looks like we'll get several months work out of it next year.
We have constantly tried to improve on the tecniques used.
For burning trees to death, we'll try to make an iron pipe with holes near the end, stick that under the straw bale and set a leaf blower to supply air.
Should get a way hotter flame.
The dogs had a fine day, following us around and chasing after the ATV.
