I've been working in the forest. Having a grand time. Trying to create a walking path for us that wends its way through our forest. The cedars have been crowded out by maples, and the dead cedars fall. A tree had to be brought down, one that will surely fall in the next storm. A dead cedar, it isn't good on a walking path! The kittens similarly helped. I chased them away.

| Love these massive pines |

| Amazing catalpa in Westport |

Deadfall, they squish a young catalpa.
I've been trying to dig it out by pruning.
The bees that live under the left root dissuade me. |

| dark shadows, ancient beasts |

Loved this tree, with arms, in Bala, Muskoka.
Losing its head in a storm, it still survived.
They chopped its arms off later, tho |

| wind storm knocked this over |

I've noticed a couple of interesting tree sites of tree museums and tree tours!
London, Ontario,
tree trunk tour!
Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement signed in 2010, which led to a moratorium on logging of nearly 29 million hectares of woodland caribou habitat.

You have some big trees! Good for you clearing out a walking path through all that. Good exercise if you don't overdo it.
It always amazes me how some trees grow in the most unusual conditions.
how many acres do you have now?

LOve this tree post....you know me...never met a tree or stump photo I didn't like.LOL
Beautiful photos, Jenn. I love the cats "helping"!
The tree museum made me think of the song about "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot". The idea of a tree museum then was laughable. Not any more.

It is a wonderful place, thank you all. We traded a Muskoka lake-side cottage for 16 acres of bush, wetland and beautiful trees.
We do miss the big trees! This was such a fun post to see. I love that tree chair, too. I can't wait to get back to visiting everyone after my life settles down.
Yeah we will get some straight line winds at times and it can wreak havoc on shallow rooted trees. I love that picture of the trees alternating and falling in a 'V' pattern on your property. Very interesting. W.C.C.
Awesome photos Jenn, have you seen the maple on Beckwith between Craig and Brock Streets? O she's an ole beauty. May your path amongst the grove lead you into wonderous sightings :)
I don't think I have ever seen a catalpa tree that big around! During the big ice storm 12 years ago, the catalpas were just about the only trees that did not suffer damage...
