Why OwlCrest

OwlCrest is 40 acres of granite laden beautiful woods atop a mountain in Brattelboro, Vermont. I purchased the land with the intent of making it a retreat where my children, families, and their families could re-connect with the most primitive elements of life. OwlCrest is a place to discover our hidden talents and pursue dreams without complexity or judgement. OwlCrest is a place just to be.....

At dusk, if you sit quietly long enough at the crest of the land and listen, you will hear the rhythms of the forest. Owls calling out their names and asking who else is there. I'm here and who are you? We are just a visitor here, a temporary custodian of something that will soon be forgotten. I lived and worked here once. It was my privilege.

One half of the Crest is cleared.



November 2015.  Cleared half of the field at the crest of the land.  More than 50 stumps and as many big rocks.  Using a tractor with logs tied behind to level the field.  Too late to plant any grass, will do that in the Spring.   I have views in 3 directions, just have to choose what to clear and what to keep.  Also have a lot of Maple trees that I want to keep. 

Here is the tractor with two logs behind it to level the field. 

This is one of the stump piles. Its hard to see the scale, but the pile is bout 10 feet tall.
