As temperatures drop and winter takes hold, your land may face more challenges than just a frosty morning. The freezing and thawing of the ground as well as snow and ice can significantly impact your property. Proactively addressing these issues can save time, money, and resources:
- Inspect Roads: Check interior roads for standing water in ditches, clean debris out of culverts, haul gravel as needed, and inspect any bridge or creek crossing for repairs.
- Monitor Planting Sites: Evaluate newly planted areas for potential seedling mortality, especially after freezing temperatures. Note any areas of concern for future adjustments. Current planting should be postponed until the ground is not frozen and temps are above freezing.
- Assess Flood-Prone Areas: Look for beaver damage or other causes of flooding that could impact your land’s usability or access.
