Outside Rhinefeild Sandy's they're clearing invasive Hemlock Spruce (Tsuga), escaped from the adjacent enclosure. I'm sure, but I think these are Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) commonly
grown for timber about the forest. Western Hemlock is fast growing imported species, native of North Western America, one which
spreads both quickly and easily, left unchecked it would quickly form
thick darkly shaded stands.
