Hello Everyone,

On Wednesday, July 12, the FOSM project will again be at the Old Highway adjacent to Nine Mile Picnic Area. The project leaders will be Lou Romero and Sam Beard. With a crew of 8 to 10 volunteers, we should be able to complete the following two goals:

1. Splitting Rounds -- Finish splitting 12" rounds, most of which are in the lower third of the large pile,  and leave split piles easy to access with dump trailer.

2. Haul Three Dump Trailer Loads to Woodlot – The wood will not be stacked in order to more quickly  load the trailer.

With these two goals in mind and Dan having the trailer/splitter at his house, there is no need to meet at the Guard Station.  All volunteers should go directly to Nine Mile Picnic Area and plan to arrive between 8:45 and 9 am. Please park below the wood piles, on both sides of the road, leaving a bike lane between them and plenty of room to negotiate backing the dump trailer to the split wood piles.

Wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and sturdy boots with slip-resistant soles. Bring work gloves, snacks, lunch, drinks, hard hat, and eye and ear protection.
