The herd at High Meadows was recently given access to a small fruit tree orchard. The trees had been pretty much given up before there were goats because the black bear, deer and squirrels got most of the apples. There is a social component to debarking as small groups work together around a single tree. This is an important activity to keep in mind if you plan to do vegetative management for other landowners. Large trees are generally safe but owners should be aware that they will lose small trees in the clearing process.
