Beechwood10 --the name

Beechwood10 is the name of my home---surrounded by some large beech tree and the property is 10 acres. The beech trees are mostly very old trees and some are dead and down, some are dead and standing and some have just lost limbs and are looking vulnerable. The beech trees make good homes for raccoons, squirrels, wood ducks (in the spring for nesting). Some beech trees produce beech nuts. In pioneer times, the beech trees were not considered worth logging and I think that's why ours have survived to old age---the rest of the bush was logged in the 1940's.
