I dont think the forestry people don’t know, unless there’s a few fresh out of college kids. City slickers environmental whackos lobby policy makers that have never done anything but sit at a desk, they are to blame.
Just like everything else, people that don’t know anything and sit at a desk make the decisions. Kind of like when men design kitchens.
That’s neat your daughter got a forestry degree! What is she doing now?
I do like this area but we’ve been considering moving because a neighbor’s dog barks all day and all night. Lesson learned, do not move on a hill. The views are beautiful but not worth it. There’s a reason why neither of us had a view on our priority list. I think God was trying to influence us but we overrode him with the Mountain views and rolling hills, I always envisioned myself running across them in my Julie Andrews garb.
We’d like to stay around here but we’re also open to anywhere else. The problem here is people have been settled here for so long that it’s hard to find a large parcel of land. So many have been subdivided for all the “kin”. A word that is actually used quite often. But when I look at other areas of the country most of the land is just flat. I need me my mountains. If I can’t have mountains at least Rolling Hills. So perhaps the Ozarks. I’m Googling in learning more about the rest of the country. Of course along with that goes how do they vote and who is moving in. Just entertaining myself, for the most part. But I did have a realtor over last week and house prices here have been throwing up up up. Yeah to the Trump economy! We’ve been pouring money into this house not even thinking twice because we figured it was our last house. But now we could actually sell it for every penny we have into it including real estate fees. Of course if we move somewhere here all that will be gobbled up.
