This thread/your book/this topic couldn't have come out at a better time for us! We just moved to our homestead a few months ago and with that, we purchased about 30 acres of woods behind us. Now that we are getting into the winter months, we figured this would be an excellent time to "tackle the woodlands" behind our property.
Just last month we had visit us Ag and Forestry Division of a local University to walk the property, discuss tips and tricks, and in general come up with a very generic gameplan on how to best care for this area.
So glad to be here, but especially grateful that you are!
