Maybe I’m selfish, but I just hate to see the trails like this. I’m thinking of all the animals that will need to find a new home. I’m thinking of the plants that are being crushed under the logs and trucks. I’m wondering which plants will grow, and which plants will not come back now that the environment has changed.
I know the mess will be cleaned up. I know that this work needs to be done to keep the power lines out of danger from falling trees. I’m so grateful that the entire area wasn’t clear-cut, like so many new housing developments around here.
It’s just hard to watch.
