I live never to an area that was just clear cut for paper, it is miles of just nothing now. I used to have deer at my back door almost every day but now it's so quiet it's scary. About a month after they stopped cutting they flew over in a plane and sprayed some kind of chemical I'm guessing to inhibit the growth of specific kinds of trees since they want to encourage the kind that they can profit off of. Some small shrubs are coming back now but I was curious if you guys had any recommendations of things that I could do help encourage biodiversity in the area and help to support the ecosystem?

I have a 10 month old standard poodle I'm trying to train to be a service dog. Right now she needs more socializing and I'd love to just have some people to work on training with. Dose anyone know of any groups in the area that meet up to train and socialize their dogs?
