Poplar Ridge Logging doing an excellent job logging one of our recent timber sales. management,

When you are a forester / land broker, you never know what you might see in the woods from day to day! This was a nice surprise! management

I love a good looking wildlife thinning!

Emerald Ash Borer killed off almost all the mature ash trees in the Piedmont. However, I've seen a lot of juvenile ash trees coming back in the understory. Hoping that nature finds a balance and the ash trees can make a comeback.

Had so much rain, even the turtles are looking for high ground!

Unexpected rain cut the prescribed fire short, but the NCFS was still able to get some acres burned. With any luck, tomorrow will work out better.

Firelines going in today!

Neat find in Rockingham County: small rock structure, looks like it is protecting the head of a spring.

Afternoon logging inspections. I don't recommend using this guy; low production, ignores buffer rules, and isn't insured.

Had fun with the DSLR today. Fall is reaching the Piedmont!

Spent an hour shooting two lines looking for this corner. Ended up finding it when I leaned against a tree and wondered what that lump was under my foot.

Getting some wet-natured tracts harvested while it's dry. Just need these hurricanes to hold off a bit longer...

Freya had a good find today!

Emerald ash borer hasn't found this one yet.

Beetle damage makes me sad.

Mr. Snake was bummed I shut down the shooting range.

In the woods checking on a nice thinning job! With any luck I'll be in air conditioning before it gets too hot this afternoon.

Cruising some beautiful hardwood timber today!

This juvenile pine stand used to be so dense you couldn't see the forest floor. We conducted a pre- commercial thinning in early 2021. A year later, the residual crop trees have plenty of growing space and are taking off.

Spring is here, snakes are out again!

Drive almost 4 hours to inspect 668 acre property and when you get there, you're greeted by an extra 30 minutes of work to remove the fallen tree in front of the gate!

This property is listed for sale near Blowing Rock, NC. Gorgeous mountain views! www.tmmrealestate.com

Rolling through pre-commercial thinnings this week.

First snow day for the field dog! She had a good time. I wore the wrong socks and froze my toes off.

My truck buddy hates office days.

Watched the cold front roll in across a field this afternoon.

New hire is very proficient at finding snakes and rodents. Trying to train her how to sniff out property corners, but that's taking a bit more work. Once we get that skill down we'll work on measuring edge trees on inventory plots.

Wildlife thinning got started last week. Looking great so far; can't wait to follow it up with a prescribed burn!

Fall has finally arrived in the Piedmont!
