Urban Logging
After years of wrangling and delays, the logging of the Tiffany Park Woods is underway. It was only last week that I took this picture after being awakened by the chain saws.
This is the same location today.
The woods are no match for the heavy equipment assembled against them. I am over it. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m pleased to see many trees around the perimeter still standing. I wonder if the select few marvel that they were chosen while those on the ash heap wonder what they did wrong.
I assume all the displaced animals have been welcomed to new homes. Refugees of sorts. It will be interesting to watch as houses go up.
Progress I guess.

Ah so true! thank you! 🙂
Progress indeed…unfortunately, but at least you had it for a long time, and hopefully the perimeter trees will remain
Thanks John. Yes, we’ve enjoyed having the woods next door for as long as we did.
Some progress is just not worth the cost. At least your perimeter trees will leave you with a sense of the former woodland.
Best wishes, Pete.
True. The entire neighborhood was against the project but no way to stop it. I’m just surprised at how fast the logging is proceeding. Houses by next year I imagine!
You’re taking it well. . . .
