This week at the Stiles Farm, I continued to help farm intern Taylor Burrell spray mesquite. In addition to an aerial spray that will be conducted on the property, we are hand-spraying certain areas where the mesquite trees aren’t as dense. Removal of this invasive species will hopefully create the opportunity for more grass and forb growth and diversity in these areas. This week I also checked on a game camera that I’ve had running in an old hay barn on the south end of the property. It captured some great photos of one of the two barn owls that we suspect may be currently roosting in the barn.
