Before I make a huge mistake, I wanted to see if others have any experience with this. The Emerald Ash Borer has killed almost every ash tree around one of my favorite stand locations (including the tree my stand is currently in). The ones that aren't completely dead are top killed and sprouting. It is a great pinch point and one of the most productive stands on the farm during the rut. Bedding flanks it on almost all sides.
My plan is to cut all the dead trees down (this is a necessity for safety). The big question is what to do with the tops. Should I burn them all and clean up the other dead trees? I'm planning to salvage any logs that can be milled.
Current Plan:
1. Cut down all dead/diseased trees
2. Burn tops and salvage any logs
3. Remove underbrush
4. Frost seed clover mix in disturbed ground
