| Tractor & Bush Hog
- We have purchased a good used tractor and new 8' wide Brush Hog to
maintain the historic agricultural landscape in Port Oneida and other areas
of the park. Once fields have been cleared by hand, mowing the fields will
keep the woody plants from growing up in the old fields. We raised
$15,000 for this project. We have been
working at the Dechow and Olsen farms in Port Oneida. The small trees that
have started to grow in the fields have been pulled out using the loader on
the tractor and in the Fall of 2008, we made 5 passes along the perimeter of each of the
fields to keep the brush from growing into the fields from the woods. This
spring and summer we will be pulling trees from the Dechow, Olsen, and
Thoreson farms and some fields along Port Oneida Rd. |
