Yeah - they left some decent cedar, any/all apple trees and balsams that weren't bad. Cleared most of it. I expressly told them - "we're cutting cuz of the bud worm but the goal is to make this good habitat for deer and grouse." They're local UP guys - they get it.

There's still a good 40 acres of mixed hardwood high ground/cedar swamp mix yet.
