I used to be on an Invasive Species Management crew at a large Nature park in Nebraska that has an extensive tract of prairie. While we did prescribed burns at every available opportunity, we also had an arsenal of chainsaws. Sometimes we'd drive a front loader around with the saw attachment on the front end to get all the cedars. But then taking out the stumps by hand was...unpleasant work. Haha
This is great: well written and timely, considering, as I transcribed a recorded interview I'd just done, a notification you'd posted this popped up at the same moment my interviewee was talking about woody species encroachment on public range here in Alberta. Antitree can seem like such an unenvironmental stance but considering grasslands are the most endangered ecosystem (not forests like many people think thanks to deforestation horror stories in grade school), your massacre was an ecosystem service 😁

Yep. Unpleasant is the perfect word. Or at least the perfect, non-offensive word...😂
