Untouched hardwoods

[pioneerguy600]

This weekend I went to check out a piece of hardwood land that I have not set foot on for 30 years, this lot is only 26 acres of trees that have never heard a chainsaw, they are practically inaccessable as they are in a small vale between two high hills, no storm winds hit them hereThe last time a couple of trees were felled here was in 1947 and they were cut down with axes and crosscuts.The oldest trees here are around 350 years, short growing season = smaller trees, 36" DDH and only 100' high. This is where I go to get in touch with my inner spirit and no saws will cut here as long as I am alive.

Will post a few more.

Sorry no trees cut down with a chainsaw here but its nice to know there is still some places they have not reached.

All the more powerful a testimonial, coming from a chainsaw guy.

I'm on my way with my MS 390 to "harvest" your inner peace ancient forest. Just sharpened my chain.:greenchainsaw:

In the first post one pict got downsized, most likely due to size restrictions per post, here it is again in a little larger size.

My wife had heard many stories told of this place and she had wanted to see it for many years. The stories included the animals that live here also. My dad could communicate with many animals that live in this province and he taught me some of his ways. My first call was to the owl`s and 30 seconds after my first owl hoot I got an answer from one close by, that set of at least another 3 that all kept up answering. Next I tried calling the loons that oversummer in the big pond down stream a couple hundred yards, they responded within seconds of my three note, where are you call. Lastly I called with a drawn out wholf howl and was answered by at least 2-3 animals, most likely they were overgrown coyotes but wolves are also rumored to live in this area. To my wife this all seemed surreal, although she had listened and watched my dad communicate with the wild animals around our summer cottage she had never been deep in the woods when the animals responded.

Nice pics! Does the stream run all year round? Are there any native fish in the stream? Looks like a great place for solitude.

Hey Jerry-

Great pictures! That looks like a pristine example of the northeastern hardwoods forest cover type.

Looks like it could be nice fishing water Jerry!

There is not much forest left in this province that has not seen a chainsaw or a commercial harvest.

Nice piece of Nova Scotia, Jerry. I think everyone should have somewhere like that to go, there would be a lot less trouble in the world.
Been hearing rumors for years of a patch of supposedly virgin old growth timber in the eastern end of PEI. Owned by a very secretive farm family that don't want the location to get out, and I don't blame them. Love to go see it before I die though. If the rumors are true, there are some very,very large sticks there.

It holds a special place and many pleasant memories for me, at one time not that many years ago we had 5000 acres like it in our family, sadly mine is the only acreage left that has not seen cutting activity.
