smclelan Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Things are going to look different around the 90° corner after all the cutting. There will likely be lots of snow drifts for a few years. There was a lot of budworm damage in that area last winter, better to have them cut down then let them die and be the cause of a big forest fire.
