Default PGC activities

My friend and I were Turkey hunting yesterday and noticed that the road on the SGL was limed. After hunting we went back to do some fishing and as we followed the road to the lake, the entire stretch was limed as well as the 2-3 adjacent fields. As we rounded the bend we heard some heavy equipment and sure enough there was a tractor with a spreader liming a small field and a flatbed with bags of lime and fertilizer on it. We walked up to the guy by the flatbed and asked him what was in the field and what was going on the road. He said that wheat was planted in the field and that Biologic was going to be planted on the road. We had noticed that during deer season last year that the road was widened and an area was clear cut at the end of the road, being optimists we assumed a parking lot was being built but we are now glad to eat a little crow. I belong to a club that borders this SGL and I'm happy with the effort the PGC is making to this area. This area is very hilly and we always say our deer enjoy the finest wood and rocks available. I've also noticed that the 7 mile road in SGL 127 (between Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna) has undergone a lot of selective timbering, so I being that the PGC has taken a lot of heat lately, I give them credit with the effort lately that has gone into managing the SGLs. Hopefully the follow-up is there so this does not turn out to be money wasted.

P.S. There were also about dozen new 6' Apple trees planted and properly fenced. Anyone else seeing this kind of activity?
