Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...
Last post by barbender - Today at 10:44:23 AM The sense I get is that the Finns regard their forests as almost sacred. Not in the sense of worshipping them, but a precious resource and one of the few that they have.
My buddy that spent a lot of time with Finns (he worked worked with 3 of them down in Georgia) is going on a trip to Finland to visit one of them in a few weeks. He'll have a lot more insights into Finnish foresty and culture in general when he gets back, no doubt.

General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by thecfarm - Today at 09:38:06 AMThey said rain by 9 this morning and they was right.
I got a little wet picking up branches. But inside with a little white dog on my lap.
Should only be about 3 hours of rain and then showers.
Could be wet all day.

Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 09:32:17 AMWas overcast here this morning, now clearing out. But says showers today. Never know. Going to be 60's, SW wind. Was 42° early. Dry as a popcorn fart.
Big old red tailed hawk soring over the house a moment ago.
I see the red fox coming back home to the back yard. Probably den and pups in an old ground hog hole. Been no sign of any ground hogs around. :D

Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...
Last post by thecfarm - Today at 08:02:45 AMThem Finns must have plenty of time. Or plenty of kids.
As I said, that picture takes A LOT of time.
But it's a labor of love.
My father started that more then 50 years ago.
He cut everything that was smaller than 4 inches and made brush piles. I helped him for many years picking up branches to keep it looking good. This was before the tractor with the loader. Now I go in and put branches into the loader and keep it clean that way. Takes many trips to clean it up.
I started with a weed wacker to keep the small stuff down. I found out a lawn mower works the best.
This is really a good piece of land, as far as
goes.
This was a field many years ago. I hauled off the so called stone wall.
I can only see 2 in that picture!!! Not many places on my land I can take a picture like that. 
I only keep maybe a 1/2 acre like that. I have a 500 foot driveway and that is on the right side coming up. The Finns would like that. Just don't go outback and see how the rest of the woods look. You will also find all my junk too.

Last post by NewYankeeSawmill - Today at 07:49:46 AMQuote from: barbender on Yesterday at 01:05:38 PMAndries, relating the proper size of Ash pole to a hockey stick is very Canadian of you😂
! I was thinking the same thing. Leave it to a Canuk to reference something via the size of a hockey-stick!

Last post by B.C.C. Lapp - Today at 07:40:35 AMWell, my son works on the maintenance crew for one of the largest state parks in Pa. I asked him what the term "park like" meant to him. He shrugged and said "Well to me that would probably mean underfunded and understaffed."
I'm pretty sure that aint what the OP was looking for.
