[QUOTE="wjohnson1983, post: 4707070, member: 12435"] So before I take off on an endeavor to improve habitat, I want to make sure I am doing the correct thing. I bought 26 acres 13 years ago that was about 80% pasture land from previous cattle farm. I lived out of state for a while, and just let it get out of control and grow. It's now a tangled mess of briars, cedars, privet, bodark, and honey locust. Initial thoughts would be that this thick nasty stuff would be bedding sanctuary. I think it's too thick for anything to want to use it though. My thought right now is to start reclaiming this overgrowth. Basically bring everything down except maybe some spaced cedars and mast producing hardwoods that I find, spray the privet/honey locust to kill it, and manage for seasonal grasses. Link I found on privet removal: [url=https://sites.aces.edu/group/forestry/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=34349c38%2Df92d%2D40de%2D80c2%2D94ce96652364&ID=141&Web=20e5ae78%2D13cf%2D4936%2D9fd4%2D6856f6e520b6]https://sites.aces.edu/group/forestry/b ... 56f6e520b6[/url] [/QUOTE]
