And We're Off!!

Weeds along the fields as well as in the fields have been sprayed by my O so wonderful Uncle Stanley and my side kick Miss Heather Hardy has begun to help me begin the clearing process. As of right now we are focusing on what we call the 30 acre field. It's a pretty long field with a TON of red heads and plenty of excess in between so who knows when will actually finish it all, it may take up all my hours on just this one field! 

We usually get down there about 6 and work till were tired and gets too hot, which thus far has been about 3 to 4 hours each day. Thankfully we haven't ran into any dangerous animal except for today when we almost chopped down a wasps nest. Needless to say we left that little bunch of weeds right where they were until we can get a tractor with a mower on it or something else safer to take it out without getting attacked! Other then that we've really done a lot and making a huge improvement to this particular area. 

I captured a few before and after shots just to show the difference!

These were just a few of our piles we made!

We're far from finished but we've made a pretty good dent in the work and its looking SO much better then what it was, wouldn't you say?

Game Farm clean up!

For school I've been taking the University classes so they'll eventually let me graduate, Yay! As a part of those classes I have to complete what they call the Edge Project where I plan and complete a service learning project and then report on it. So this summer I am going to be doing my project of cleaning up the hay fields at the Overton Wildlife Management area and then showing the progress on here. 

Here are just a few pictures of the area where I will be working.
