Hello Everyone,

This email announces FOSM projects on Monday, June 5, and Wednesday, June 7.

1. On Monday, June 5, the FOSM project will be processing donation wood starting with logs on the ground in Sulphur Picnic Area. We will also process logs in Cienega PA. We will buck and split the logs and load them on Joe Meade’s truck and trailer. The processed wood will be hauled to the Mountain Christian Church Wood Ministry woodlot west of NM-14 and south of the Triangle. The wood will be split with Lou Romero’s power splitter.

2. On Wednesday, June 7, the FOSM project will be processing logs in Balsam Glade PA, Capulin PA, and Capulin Snow Play Area.

We need chain saw operators to buck the logs and other volunteers to feed the splitter and load the wood on the truck and trailer. Seven Talking Talons Youth Leadership crew members will be working with FOSM both days.

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.

Please email me if you have questions.
