Went for a walk this weekend in the forest near our place. We got a bit lost. Jen wasn't too pleased, but I was glad to get a good long walk in.
Also, I checked out some of the trees that I've planted on our land within the last 2 years. Some are good, some not so good.
Sugar Maples: completely decimated, probably by deer
Small apple trees grown from seed: mostly decimated, I'm hoping some might recover
Two plum trees: one is fine and put on nice growth during the fall. It was about 2 feet when planted, and now about 4 ft. The other has taken some animal damage, I'm hoping it'll recover, but it hasn't put on much growth
Metasequoia: doing well, put on about foot of growth in it's first full season.
Butternut: This tree is the winner. This is it's 2nd winter. It was about 2 ft when I planted it, now it's about 6.5!
