I haven't had a tree in the house for more than seven years. I don't see th=
e point in growing trees to just to cut them down, use them for a week or t=
wo, and then throw them out.

You can use my name, etc. if you like.

Would any of you care to write to me to tell me what your take is on the

it,  do nothing or....

Thuja) from dense thickets, or 2) cut an invasive Scots Pine. Either can be=
 fed to the Goats afterwards, since they love dried Conifer foliage. As wit=
h everything, the goal should be to accomplish at least two good ends with =
every action, and these get three ends: sylviculture/invasives removal, cel=
ebration, and feeding livestock.

I would appreciate your input and would like the permission to quote you,
first name or full name.

* no problem,
