Happy Thanksgiving Papa-Pepper!!!
No worries! Good homesteaders, like good business owners, have to be able to adjust and adapt to the environment. You have an available resource, so use it!
As you are clearing land, for pasture or to replace with fruit trees, I suggest leaving as many trees in place as possible. Spread out is fine, according to your plans. (Space for a mower or tractor or brush hog, etc).
But your livestock and ecosystem will appreciate the mix of trees!!! Animals will find shade. Birds will roost(and underneath, on way in, and away will thankfully drop fertilizer). Later, in your food forest as it matures, remove the 'previously uncut oak etc' to give the fruit trees more sun, and for a future firewood harvest.
You know, the permaculture way!! :-D
Thanks @em3! You are always so helpful and encouraging! Be blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!
I try to be.
