When you live in a wooded area, the winds of Winter bring down lots of dead wood from the trees; limbs, branches, and sticks; large and small. I hook up the trailer to the tractor and circle through the part of the yard which we mow, picking up all the fallen dead wood, then stacking it all in a pile to be burned, come Springtime, as a part of the "Spring Clean-Up".
In addition, we had a row of White Pine trees 20'-25' tall along the road, which, unfortunately, have succumbed to a decease or blight that moved into our area from the South. Over the past several years, most of our White Pines have died and I have had to cut them down. Two more died over this Winter, so I got out the chain saw and added them to the burn pile.
We only have a couple White Pines left and they will probably be gone soon. It's a shame as they were such pretty trees.
