For three years now we've journeyed out to the lot on weekends to mow grass and selectively take out trees. In November 1998, the work began in earnest. We chopped, we burned, we mowed; then we chopped some more and we burned some more. A total of 42 trees were taken out to prepare the site. I cried.
