Park to Park

This week was spent half at Glacial Lakes State Park and half up here at Lake Bemidji State Park. At Glacial Lakes we were removing more Buckthorn with brush saws and herbicide. It was some tough terrain to cover as we spent two full days on a lake shore that was very steeply sloped. We had one day of nice weather, and the rest of the week was pretty crappy. I don’t think we have had two days of sun in a row in over a month, but we manage. This week it looks like more of the same rain or snow showers all week.

Me in brush saw gear being dumb…

At Lake Bemidji State Park we were caging white pine trees so that when times get tough this winter the deer don’t have white pines on their menu.


This week we stay in Bemidji and do some more deer munching prevention with a different way to deter our four-legged friends, pig’s blood. I know it sounds weird, but I guess it works, I will have a better explanation this time next week hopefully with some good pictures.

Here are some tree pictures to round out the report from this week………..Take care people’s
