2 part question. Here is part 1
This area is along a creek and regularly floods. It’s almost entirely green ash with a little hedge. Due to the COE water will be down here for sometimes a month at a time. It’s too thick for turkeys to feel comfortable in the spring, not thick for a halfway decent screen from the elevated road, no ground cover for quail, and no browse for deer. Thought about hinge cutting it. Other options include thinning it, thinning and planting buttonbush, planting some water tolerant oaks, etc. What do you think?
