Our journey towards extending the Pineywoods Cattle foraging to include an additional 65 acres of forest is taking another step. With the help of funding provided in part by the USDA and Accelerating Appalachia, culvert and surge stone installation in a few of the steepest sections of the forest fenceline begins this week! This work will help reduce erosion and reduce the likelihood of the fence being washed out during heavy rains.
