Logging Continues

Logging continues at Riverbend. In the aerial photo, the areas circled in red have had mostly pine timber harvested. Some of this work has been approved by individual property owners and may be related to future building plans and may have been approved by the arborist or others as required. It is a surprising development and I plan to monitor any new harvesting.

Dry Weather impact

There has been very little rain at Riverbend over the past month. Nearby Logan farm has begun pumping water from one of their ponds to shape the soil into mounds for strawberry planting. This dryness has produced a surprising effect ... the soil as dust has become the consistency of flour. It is very light. Just as with fresh fallen snow, it shows animal tracks in high contrast. This track is a raccoon fore paw.

Deer Season starts Saturday

This Posted sign tells an important story. It shows the contempt by illegal hunters for our efforts to keep them out. My next posted signs will be metal.


Deer season begins this Saturday (bow season). Be careful when hiking and wear bright colors.
