We are greatly enjoying our newly opened-up fields which will hopefully attract woodcocks and other field birds in the coming years. I found a guy with a mower that can remove giant multifora rosebushes, bush honeysuckle, and most small trees, creating a beautiful open grassland where there was recently impenetrable brush. (It hadn't been cleared in 12 years.) He went neatly around my bluebird boxes and a few larger trees, creating a perfect landscape for viewing birds. He was in the Pennysaver-- email me off-list if you want his name and number.
