In reply to the discussion: Favorite wilderness/rural area in the world ? [View all]hedgehog
(36,286 posts)64. 60 acres of former dairy farm in the Lake Ontario snow belt.
The farmer planted 40 acres of Red pine for Christmas trees back in the 50's.......and never harvested them! Now it's a mixed woods. We've been planting oaks, hickory and black walnut for 25 years now. The property runs about 1/2 mile back over two ridges and down to a creek. We've got deer, rabbits, foxes, coyote, turkey, grouse, chickedees, cat birds, crows, owls, orioles, cardinals and wood peckers. It's my peice of Heaven.
