Let me sing you a song of chipping. Running things through a wood chipper has got to be one of the funnest things a person can do on a hot Monday morning. Pick up the tree, drag the tree, chip the tree, rinse and repeat. In all seriousness I really did have a very nice time today dragging dead trees into a wood chipper. There exists a certain kind of sick fascination in watching a very large something be swiftly transformed into very many tiny somethings. We were performing this alchemy as part of a project aimed at creating more grassland open space for birds, and to create park space for people (a twofer!) It seems strange to cut down trees to make habitat for birds, but when you suppress forest fires because you live in a place with million dollar mansions, natural grass land habitat can be a little hard to come by.
