Habitat Projects?

[cyclonenation10]

It's been pretty quiet on here. Wondering if anyone had any projects they were taking care of from a habitat standpoint this Spring/Summer?

Got most of our prescribed burning complete - just one more 5 acre patch to get done in the coming days here.
Took a bunch of red osier dogwood cuttings about a week ago and planted them in some low laying swampy ground
Replaced about 100 conifers in our shelter belt with red cedars from the DNR - the spruce trees just didn't really take off
A few weeks and we'll be planting food plots.

Good stuff! Are the spruce growing too slow or just not really growing at all? I looked at mine recently and thought they were doing well 2 years after planting as bare root 12” trees. Red cedars seem good too though.

I’m going to try and clean up some weedy switchgrass plantings from last year hopefully asap with a cleanup spray before it emerges. Then, try and plant some more late spring. Have some crabapples and spruce to put in again. I think I should be covered with trees/shrubs after this planting, so that’s nice. And then some fun with the plots as you know. Might try more of a blend this year vs pretty much pure Milo (maybe milo, annual clover, buckwheat, rye). We’ll see. Spring is fun. Before you know it, we’ll have another crop of pheasants running around.
