I started thinning a little last year removing dead standing trees I think there are only a few left. I am doing it my self so it will take longer. as soon as this season is done I need to get in the woods and start cutting before the leaves come. and once things dry out I need to put in a road and a bridge over the brook so it is easier to get the wood out. I plan on thinning a little each year!!! I'll get there!!! and get that sugar up there!!!
