Natural Habitat Preservation

Some people in the Texas Hill Country view cedar trees as an invasive species. In fact, this is a myth. The current trend is to get rid of most or all of the cedars because of this myth. The truth is removing cedars in many cases disrupts the natural soil zone made up of minerals, nutrients, roots, hyphae, decomposition and water. Excess removal of cedars can disrupt this natural eco grid in the soil zone which can result in a drought stress due to a deficient intake of water and nutrients from the damaged soil zone.
