After running down electrical problems on the ATV, we tackled invasive stilt grass, mosla (“mini beefsteak”), and found a fucking HUGE privet - it was a TREE. It evaded my gestalt ID for four years because it wasn’t bushy. 🤦🏼♀️ 5” diameter trunk! Sawed it down and treated the stump.
While this place is ours to care for I am determined to do what I can to help it be itself.
My largest complaint with Land Trusts, Nature Conservancies, etc. is they are so focused on buying land “to preserve it” but for them that means prevent housing developments and maintaining trails. They don’t actually *care* for the land they claim to own. The brushoff is always “not enough volunteers” but yet they happily do trail days, cleanup days, etc all year long with loads of volunteers…never once do I see a “privet management day”. You cant say there is no help when you *never asked to begin with*.
