Stumps #3


A few weeks ago, a tree fell above the 3rd hole.  It took out 3 other trees on it's way down.  At the time, all 4 trees were cleaned up and hauled off site.  The stumps however, created a little more of a challenge.  Today, using a winch and our excavator, we were able to pull them down the hill, load them up on a trailer and haul them off.  For years, this bank was nothing but 6' tall ugly briars and weeds.  Over the last 5 years, we've worked hard to kill the unwanted plants and establish a nice bed of fine fescue.  This is one of the prettiest sites on the campus, particularly early evening when the setting sun hits the seed head just right.  The scars left from the stumps were raked and seeded with fine fescue.
