Woodsmen All

 This is the time of year when the BMD (Bondi Maintenance Dept.) heads into the managed forest woodlot to start cutting trees.


These trees are the ones that need to be removed for the overall health of the forest -- sadly, in this instance, a lot of beech that are succumbing to the beech blight.




That wood warms you so many times. First when it is cut, then when it is split, then when it is piled, and finally, at long last, when it is burned in the fireplace.

Rank has its privileges. Brian has seniority -- so he
got the tractor. Dave got the chainsaw.

While David and Brian will be toasty warm throughout the entire process, our guests get the luxury of cutting to the chase, and going right to the part about snuggling up next to a fireplace on a cold wintery evening!
