HUG A TREE

 Linda Laskey writes that some of the best indicators of environmental conditions on your land can be attributed to the number of trees per acre.  Less than 5 trees per acre indicate poor conditions, 6-10 trees indicate good conditions and more than 10 trees indicate very good conditions. (From the USDA Forest Service, Volume 5, #1 booklet).

 Your children or grandchildren and their friends might enjoy this hunt, (with your help) showing them what an acre, or part of an acre, looks like.  Good luck.
