Aspen Forest


After moving north through a mixed forest, you hit an extensive aspen stand. According to the forester in charge of the sale, this stand will be managed to have multiple-age groups of aspen. He also thought spruce and balsam would continue to thrive in these stands.

This was a great day for "bushwacking", by the way. Enough snow to keep above the downed branches, but not enough to sink down much.

Tomorrow's pictures will show the beautiful old White Pine forest north of here.
