A small portion of our ranch was sprayed a few years before we purchased it.  We are restoring the habitat that was damaged during this process.  We recently planted 2750 plumb thicket seedlings in over 60 thickets and an additional 2000 sumac seedlings.  This will significantly improve the habitat for quail and deer.  Here are some photos of the process.  Click on them for a larger view.

We are rebuilding a dam that broke many years before we purchased the ranch.  This will provide additional duck hunting and great fishing in the future.

The following pictures show recent progress.  Click on the pictures  for a larger view.
