Hello Everyone,

On Wednesday, April 19, the FOSM project will be felling hazard trees in Doc Long PA, Sulphur PA, and Cienega PA. The attached Word document contains hazard tree maps for these picnic areas. Michael Arndt and I felled all the hazard trees in Pine Flat PA and Cedro Group Campground today. I did not find any hazard trees in Oak Flat PA.

I do not know why the print quality of the maps is so poor. The originals were good, but the copies of the scanned maps are not very clear.

Meet at 8 am at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Ranger Station in Tijeras. Wear the usual PPE – long pants, long sleeve shirt, and boots with slip-resistant soles. Bring hard hats, gloves, snacks, drinks, and lunch. We will be using chain saws; therefore, also bring ear and eye protection.

Print a copy of the attached file containing the hazard tree maps. I will not have copies to hand out.

I have a meeting early Wed. morning, and Dan Benton will lead the project.

Please email me if you have questions.
