Yearling... With promise
As spring slowly creeps into Central Wisconsin I have finally decided to tackle what turned out to be an extremely satisfying project. Our property consists of an abandoned/retired limestone quarry. The exposed cliffs and pits are one of the main reasons we love our place. With that came a darker side which I have come to hate... JUNK! After the quarry ceased operation and long before we purchased the land, it became a dumping area for appliances, shingles, tires and trash. This spring I finally got around to consolidating the bulk of these items and removing them from the place. 2700 pounds of scrap steel and a car hauler full of appliances left. There is no way I could have imagined the sense of joy I have without this junk laying around every corner.
Next I will round up the dozens of tires littering the landscape. My final project will be a lifelong gathering of broken glass which seems to pop up every time I disk a foodplot or clear ground for new native plantings. I would highly encourage anyone with a similar situation to go ahead and clean up your woods. It elevated my enjoyment beyond my expectations.
