Did a lot of habitat management work through the fall and winter with canopy removal and controlled burns. Here are even more photos (in no particular order) taken from around the property so far this year. (Reddit only allows 20 images per post.)

I love this so much!! We recently bought 5 acres and have spent the first two years trying to naturalize it. It’s roughly 3 acres pasture and 2 acres lawn. We have slowly been turning our lawn into a wild flower garden. Letting the grasses grow to seed in between the flowers.
I especially love the photo you captured of the dandelion. Fortunately, we don’t have close proximity neighbors so they can’t judge us when we don’t mow, but my husband and I both let the dandelions flourish because the bees love them so much
That’s a wonderful job you did in restoration. All that hard work paid off. Such diversity there, I love it!
Brain went 🤯 at the *Hydrangea barbara* & also I’m so jealous of your clasping milkweed (*Asclepias amplexicaulis*)! Fabulous, wondrous diversity! Damn, kudos to you
