Eddie brings up a good point
The interesting thing is the more I clear, the more wildlife I see. They really like the edge of the woods and the cleared areas!!!
I had our State wildlife biologist out to our pondsite to go over our plans to utilize the W.H.I.P program. When I told him we planned to clear for the perimeter drive, he jumped all over that with adding native grasses. He said that this buffer of grasses between the woods and the water will eventually be teeming with wildlife and bio-diversity...big time. He highly approved and recommended this practice.
