The morning sun peeks through the forest right outside the boundary of the Randolph Glade, where Eastern red cedars are still thick and have not been cleared and ground vegetation is scarce compared to where native grasses and forbs flourish around where the cedars have been cut to open up the 19-acre Randolph Glade on L-A-D foundation property north of Eminence, Missouri on Sunday morning, May 21, 2023.
