The trees in the pond area have been cut down by the log cutters (I hired a consulting forestor and sold the lumber) and I have cleaned up the leftover tops. It turns out that most of the trees were ash and were infected with EAB and on the way out. I have included a first pass drawing of the contour and habitat of the pond and would like feedback on things I may be overlooking or anything I may need to think of. In my drawing you can see the pond will be surrounded by woods. It will be about 1 acre in size
