Yes, really, this is the forest. Seb planted 500 trees last spring in the field in front of the hill at Mystery Hill. His mom, Femmy, takes care of them for him. She has spent numerous days wrapping their skinny trunks in cardboard to protect them from mice and many more days placing landscape fabric around their bases to try to manage the meadow engulfing them. The forest is a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees. We have lost some of them to field mice (or some other animal) eating their bark but for the most part, they're intact. We also planted trees along the fence that marks the property line and lines the driveway. I think these ones are all poplars.
