A farming background kinda drives the perspective that you describe. I gave up recreational mowing many years ago. My dad still keeps his woods like a city park. To each their own. We spent a good part of yesterday cutting and treating invasive honeysuckle in our woods. It will be a long haul to get that under control. We will likely be piling up the brush today. The brush piles provide cover for wildlife and exercise for me. I am appreciating the mild weather so far this winter.
