How's your land looking now?
No living trees that I didn't plant myself. The fire was so hot all the seeds died as well. So the idea that a new forest would spring up from the ashes was sort of wishful thinking.
Ouch! I know of someone that put in about 10,000 small trees and had them almost all cleaned out by rabbits.
Do you write/post about your land anywhere? Would be an interesting story to follow.
Also, thanks for being a wildland firefighter, lots of us who live in hills and forests really really appreciate you.
