While the tree tops on the ground seem unsightly, they are actually important resources to the surrounding habitat. As the trees decompose, nutrients are recycled and micro-habitats are created, facilitating the growth of new tree seedlings. The standing dead trees, resting timbered limbs, and the dead parts of live trees provide room and board for some of our favorite kinds of wildlife. It warms our hearts to see blue birds nest on the property, catch baby fawn trying to keep up with their moms, and to think of how many other animals are thriving. We have been working closely with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to ensure we successfully and thoughtfully restore the land.
