Anthea Weese shares how she and her husband transformed their backyard from a former cornfield into a wildlife forest over 49 years. She explains how they planted and developed trees such as oak, pine, red pine, and cherry, gradually creating a natural habitat now home to deer, foxes, woodpeckers, and many other birds and animals. In this episode, she reflects on the challenges they faced, including invasive plants, early mistakes, and the long learning process of managing a living ecosystem. She shares these experiences to help others learn from her journey and avoid similar problems when restoring or managing natural land.
