Car tax maybe. Otherwise the East and West coast probably have the same ish laws.

The best I’ve heard the difference in people described is that a Californian will be very nice if you have a flat tire but will not help. A north-easterner will curse you out for being a moron while changing said flat tire.

That must be it. I definitely think we need to manage the landscape. I figure given the absense of us the woodlands would sort themselves out. Unfortunately we are here and probably have to intervene.

I started categorizing all of the flora in my area and scarily greater than 50% is simply not native at all. From the wildflowers to shrubs and trees.

I am not an arborist by any stretch of the imagination but I’ve thought maybe things would be better if we culled a lot of the swamp maples.

On my property we have had to remove all the ash. We have several ancient sugar maples left, one oak, one ancient cherry, and one black birch. The rest are swamp maple that ‘grow as fast as they can and then decide they’d rather be shrubs and start dripping limbs’.

Yeah it’s a weird one. I think no one would blink an eye if you built a fence and had the dogs roam free in the day. Coyotes only really come out at dusk or dawn here.

To be a broken record the electric fence would work too. But if overly friendly neighbors or walkers may complain.
