Like many other owners, I have received calls asking if I wanted to sell the trees on my property. Of course we all know that the trees cannot be harvested and that approval must be granted to cut any tree larger than 4 inches diameter.
Last week the call I received suggested to me that the caller had actually visited the property since he referred to specific areas. I took this opportunity to trek to Lee county and do some hiking and photography.
Fall is one of the best times at Riverbend with improved views as the leaves fall. When hiking, be aware that deer season has opened. Currently, it is only "bow hunting." Soon, the "black powder" season will open and later in October, regular rifle hunting will start. During my visit today, I saw no sign of hunters, deer stands or baiting. If you go hiking later this month, be sure to wear colorful clothing.
I took two pictures of "specimen" trees on my property today. They are attached to this blog. Above is a River Birch that is about 120 feet high and 3-4 feet in diameter. Wonderful tree for a treehouse. To the right is an Eastern White Cedar. Both trees are highly sought after for their timber value.
