Springtime - Time to Move Trees

Hi all,

Now that it is spring, it's time to move the 8 beautiful 12 foot hemlocks on the property to their permanent home. We hired a large tree mover expert, Leighton Allenby, to move the trees and plant 4 other large roses of sharon on the border of the property.

We also cleared out the back of the lot and put down a special conservation mix of wildflowers to start growing near the back buffer zone

Clearing for our new back yard




After getting a Notice of Intent approval to clear within the buffer zone, we hired a wetlands supervisor Dave Burke and a clearing company to clear within the parameters allowed by Conservation. We then purchased hay bales and sill fencing to border the perimeter.
We have a totall of 2.5 acres of property which is beautifully bordered with a sweeping meadow back view and a farm feel. Less than 1/2 mile down the road, there is Heard Pond where people can boat, fish, ice skate, etc. along with many walking trails of The Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge & Sudbury Valley Trustees Land.
