Coffee anyone ?

I love green beans. Grow and can them myself every year. Will cook some for dinner, just them and some bread and butter. Yum!

GB -- maybe put some fencing a few feet before the culvert opening to catch the debris, then easier & more open clean up? Seems like it would be. Maybe even most moveable with tractor and attachments? Worth some thought.

Not possible.
1. Tho it is my road to maintain , it actually is located on my sister's property thru a titled mutual easement. She lives a few miles up the highway and rarely visits her 41 acres here. I and a friend run cattle on it thru a casual lease arrangement, I don't mind spending the $$ or time and energy on her fence, but it would be extremely difficult to find anything to anchor it to other than trees, and I am loathe to tie wire to trees, doubly so for trees that don't belong to me..
2. The end of the inlet side of the culvert is directly below the property line fence.. (built in 1965) beyond that, is US Govt land. I can do lots of things, but placing any fence on Govt property is taboo. They send a survey crew out every few years to remark the property line and to ensure sure no one is encroaching on The People's property.
3. Since I have a separate fence on the opposite side of that road to contain livestock and allow us to travel without opening any gates, the fence at the inlet side is sacrificial and the lower wires broke years ago from the pressure exerted from the debris dam. Wire exacerbates the problem anyway. They grab any small twigs that pass and the twigs build up, and they grab more & bigger and bigger stuff till you just have a big mat of forest debris extending several yards out into Govt land.
I do tho, appreciate the suggestion and your opinion.

so ok @greybeard maybe you don't hate every tree, maybe just the ones that cause you and yours problems. I can appreciate that kind of dislike but to condemn them all is just wrong.

I've killed thousands, probably 10s of thousands. (but as Arnold S. said in True Lies.."just the ones that deserved to die")
