Word #161 and a few more

 Remove

 Recycle

Restored

After purchasing our new home we needed

to immediately remove a lot of the invasive

and flammable Manzanita. Living in a forest

is different from living in the city that's for sure.

 The first photo shows the machine

picking up the Manzanita by the roots, shaking

the dirt off and then putting it in a big pile.

The second photo shows all the removed and shredded

debris being put in a pile for us to use as a mulch

over the removal area.

And the third photo shows a much more safe

and healthy oak forest. Over time the trees will

get bigger and we will be planting some conifers

and indigenous shrubs this fall once the rains come.
