Great video! Meadow is awesome! I have long driveway lined with (28) Cleveland flowering pear trees. The problem is one tree is a runt due to poor landscaping/drainage. Early spring to to early summer water pools around trunk. My questions is how can I add dirt to correct grade without killing the tree? We have lived here (6) years and the condition of the tree is getting worse and we we loose it then a big hole will occur. As a mechanical engineer this will mess with my mind :). Any input would be very much appreciated. -Brad
I appreciated Her depth of knowledge -Thank You for putting Her on Your show and a Thank You to Meadow for coming on. I will watch part 2 here shortly.
Yes, she really knows her stuff. I've got enough footage for at least another video, maybe more. Hope to have her on a livestream sometime. Keep on tractoring.
She really impressed me for sure! Stay tuned for part 2 and possibly a part 3. This should be fun. I'd also like to get some footage of her dog training. Keep on tractoring.
This was such an informative video. I very much enjoyed it. I’ve done lots of logging and chainsaw work on homesteads we’ve owned. I’ve always been a believer in reforestation because it works. Also took forestry classes way back in my school days. Anyway it was a refreshing video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
So glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time touring the land with Meadow and I have a part 2 almost ready for later this week. Stay tuned. Keep on tractoring!
Thanks for sharing this Jon! She does indeed have a wealth of knowledge that i'm looking forward to hearing more about! And solving your beaver problem!
Thanks for watching, it’s alway fun learning something new that interest me. I hope to make some more videos, I’ve got a part two just about ready for later this week. Stay tuned. Keep on tractoring!
Heyhey Jon I am getting my fill of wildlife biologist today. One of the elders in our church is a wildlife biologist and he was preaching today. MY BRAIN HURTS NOW. Lol Take care my friend
Oh no, that’s a lot of knowledge to take in one day. Hope you can process it all. I had a great time learning so many things from Meadow. Keep on tractoring!
Good day Monsieur le Professeur 😉 So by using science it is always great win with this fine wildlife Biologist Lady Teacher 😉👍 Great bio informative video Sir 🧐👍 Yes great idea about the live stream 👍😉 Great video Sir and I do hope that you will have this fine lady full of knowledge coming back soon 🧐👍 Cheers !!!
How's she goin'? There is so much going on in the woods and we think we know all about it. As it turns out, we don't know half of it eh!!! Meadow sure is a fount of knowledge!! Take care!!
Shew Beavers! Beavers built a dam inside a 6ft drain pipe on some of the school systems property. It cost $4500 to have it unclogged so we built a big screen out of rebar to keep them out of the pipe. They are destructive for sure!
I wish we could have heard you two talk as the audio was very poor John. Very interesting video, Maddie is fantastic and knowable! Wayne from Wisconsin.
Interesting, I know there was some wind issues I had to deal with but I tried to clean up what I could. Was it just the wind or was there other issues. Keep on tractoring!
Jon, great video. For Meadow: Our property is located in Southern Maine, and is in an area where the New England Cottontail rabbit is located. We had a forester take down trees as the north part of the property (about 35 acres out of 90) had not been thinned for many years. We learned from the forester that this thinning of the tall trees needs to be done to allow new growth to happen as the tall trees shade the smaller trees, etc keeping them from growing. We all learned the trees stumps is a good source of new grass, etc. Here is the question: We want to preserve these rabbits and plant perhaps some shrubs. Except the the tree cutting last summer, the area is undisturbed. We also want to build a road fr our tractors so we can access the property line to the north. Any thoughts on what to plant, etc?
Very cool video! How does wildlife management differ from the upper Midwest (Minnesota) to the mid Atlantic (West Virginia)? How much of a role does forestry management play with wildlife management?
I see some DIY beaver mitts in your future with the pelts of the beaver that Meadow will be trapping for you. She certainly is a wealth of knowledge on forest ecology.
Not anymore, it's hardly worth trapping for fur right now. Meadow was telling me however that beaver have certain glands that are apparently valuable. Keep on tractoring.
Hey Buddy did you see my question within your pinned comment “ask Meadow”? Maybe a mistake on my part but any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated! Orange forever, green paint well never....
@@ritterjon I have 28 flowering pear trees that line the sides of my driveway. One tree is doing poorly due to landscape issue. From early spring to early summer many times the tree is sitting in standing water. Question, how can back fill area with out killing the tree.

PS Runt tree has 5" diameter trunk at ground exit while all others are approximately 8" to 11" inch. -Brad
What a wonderful time to spend time with a cup of coffee and you both..she has so much knowledge and easy to listen to!! 😊

What a treat to have a pro teaching us about forest management. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep on tractoring.
Great! There was a good amount of aspen on my land that was cut. I see some new trees growing... Now I know how it is happening! Thanks!
That's a good dam video, Jon. I also liked the dam interview. Meadow sure is a dam professional. I'll stop now :)
Oh goodness, at first I thought you were going to need the soap. LOL!
Keep on tractoring!
Went to Meadows channel. She has a great video on what is inheritance.
Yes she does, I'll be sharing her channel on my Facebook group soon. Thanks for checking it out.

Great video with great information. Meadow’s capacity for information is fantastic, as is her recall!! Great stuff!
Yes, she really knows her stuff! I’d like to get her on video again.

Congratulations Jon! I know you’ve been fighting those beavers 🦫 for quite a while at your property...Glad to see a win-win for you and Meadow! ~SBYD!
Thanks, yes this really couldn’t have worked out better. Hope to get some footage of her training dogs also.
Keep on tractoring!
Jon great can't wait to see how she take care of the beavers we are going to learn a lot
God Bless All
PaK
I’ll try and keep you posted on progress as best I can. We’re real fortunate to have her taking care of this issue.
God bless.
Keep on tractoring!
Can't wait for the beaver part!
She is the best!!! You got the perfect person for the job!
You know it! She is a wealth of information! I can’t wait to meet with her again. Hope to get some dog training on video. 👍

Really interesting stuff. We used to visit the grand rapids area all of the time, neat area!
Hey Kyle, remind me where your from again. What brought you to the Grand Rapids area?
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon from the south east side of Iowa. Family has a cabin on mille lacs lake and we also used to go to park rapids and visit long lake.

Meadow should have a channel...very interesting ...
It’s a small channel now but go subscribe!

Here’s a question for Meadow, will we be able one day to get rid of the Emerald Ash Borer?
Great question! Thanks 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Great content
Thanks 😊

Does meadow have a channel to learn more of out door environment
She does but her channel is pretty small. Here is the link.

Maybe I missed it but how do you tell the difference between male and female aspens??
The male Aspen have really big buds that make them look different.
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon lol don’t you mean Male?
@@mikey0011 yep 👍
Are Aspen trees a hard wood and good for burning?
They are considered one of the softer hardwoods. They are used for pulp wood in the paper making process.
Keep on tractoring!
So I have a Question for Meadow. If I leave the Beaver alone will I end up with a 40 acre pond and no trees?
Might take some time, but probably! 😂
Keep on tractoring!
@@ritterjon 👍🤣🍻
Is Meadow going to live trap and relocate? Where has Meadow been all my life? I think I'm in love.
I don’t think she’s going live trap. She is amazing!

How about a future video with her training her dogs.
That is my plan, hope to make it work.

A Wildlife Biologist named Meadow... how fitting. :-)

Are beaver skins worth money
Not anymore, it's hardly worth trapping for fur right now. Meadow was telling me however that beaver have certain glands that are apparently valuable.

No but Damm good meat and our locals make hats n gloves
Wow, who knew their was so much going on out at Yukon Acres.
No kidding right, the place is busier than I thought.

Break the dam and wait with a .22 the Canadian way 🇨🇦
That’s what my dad would do almost nightly several years ago. I think he used 12 gauge buck shots though. 😁

Whenever there's a beaver around, I pull out my gun to deal with it.
Like #300 ! :-)
Thank you!
Keep on tractoring!
I think it was other issues John.
Sometimes you just have to call in the experts.
There is a crazy story of how I came to know Meadow, I'll have to talk about it sometime. I really lucked out.
Keep on tractoring!
Ummmm.. beaver management?
