Helped out some friends at B and L fencing with thick trees.

How Does Eastern Redcedar Spread?
- Up to 1.5 million seeds produced per mature tree every year
- 65% seed spread beyond mature trees by birds
- 95% seedlings up to 200 yards from mature trees
- 1 mature tree contaminates 26 acres with seedlings
- Trees produce seeds at 6-7 years old (~5ft tall)
- Short lived seeds: Viability 5% at 14 months; 3% at 28 months

Stopping Eastern Redcedar Invasion
- Prioritize defending areas of intact grassland
- Prevent seedling establishment (fire/haying)
- Remove seed sources (mature females trees ~5ft tall)
- Reduce perch locations for birds spreading seed (unneeded fence, cedar skeletons, other trees)

Happy Veterans Day!
Honoring all who served, today and always!
Home of the free because of the brave!

Had a new visitor the other day.

Neat to see several burrowing owls on a prairie dog town.

Hate to tell her she is not blending in enough to hide.

Happy 4th of July!

View from the office this morning.

To everyone, a joyous Easter!

Beautiful morning to mulch cedar trees near Thedford NE.
