RE: Eco-rant of the week: Small eco-crimes we pat ourselves on the back for doing

in #ecotrain5 years ago

I live in the forest where we are removed from the green lawn yards. I love the wild landscape especially all the wildflowers that grow in the ditches! Ironically our neighbors (I have one on each side) who still have that city mentality that flat green is beautiful and they mow the ditches. They usually leave my area in front of our property alone except for once when they thought they were doing me a favour and kept on cutting cutting at the front of my property too! I was saddened for I had been watching and photographing the succession of wildflowers and they cut very close to the ground so the berry bushes would soon be drying out. I can't understand it why you would spend hours on a riding mower cutting down wildflowers - yikes!
