Barbed Wire Scars


Barbed Wire Scars

On the Copsey Creek side of the property, it is very densely overgrown with poison oak, berry brambles, willows, poplars, walnut trees, and oaks. There are remnants of old wire panels and bits and pieces of barbed wire. This tree is a perfect example of what happens when a tree is used as a fence post. The scarring on this tree shows that it probably came close at one time or another to girdling the tree.
Now that we have completed the small system of trails, I have noticed so much more than before...
