An interesting observation that I didn't think anyone notice except me. I've lived all my life (81 years) here in SW PA. and I agree but think it has been going on gradually for many years. Spent time in the woods every year studying flora and fauna and collecting evidence. It is incredible the degradation of the under story.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction?
