We have acreage that is part woods, part pasture. The tree farm adjacent was cut down several years ago and is being made into high density housing. (Starter homes $800k) Now the deer have moved over to our place, same with the bears. We have ospreys, red tails, barred owls, & pileated woodpeckers that all call this place home.
We're trying to figure out how we can open this to more species without seriously impacting our retirement funds.
