SCOT, We have found the more trees the less vandalism also. Knowing this I personally have chosen to harvest the oldest trees and remove younger trees that cannot grow properly under the umbrella of the larger trees. Having experience in forest management has been a benefit. Dress out damaged trees and consider tree removal to benefit the growth of surrounding trees. The damaged trees take much needed water from the healthy plants and trees. Poplars and Hickory were hit by draught issues in 1999 and 2000. Those especially need to be individually evaluated as each piece of timber. Forestry stewardship, take the worst first. All the best, Tom
