Description
While out hunting for the bear and cougar that were making life 'interesting' for home owners, I came across this tree with the metal tag attached:
From the USDA Forest Service is the following:
'A bearing tree contains vertical scribing along its base that is unique to each property corner the tree witnesses,' said Kearney. If a bearing tree is witnessing a property corner for the Forest boundary, the tree will also have a small yellow sign attached to the tree. Kearney said that each property corner throughout the Black Hills can have between two and four bearing trees.
Thank you for all your kind comments and faves
Have a great Sunday
