Hello Everyone,

We cannot complete our plans for the FOSM project on Wed., April 24, for several reasons. Our options are the following:

  1. Move Cienega split wood to a church woodlot.

  1. Process numerous rounds from the two large trunks (24 inches each) that we felled at the forked tree in Balsam Glade Picnic Area. We would haul these rounds from the hillside down to the upper parking lot in wheel barrows and split them with Lou's power splitter. This split wood would then be hauled in Joe's trailer to the FOSM Guard Station where it will be secure until we can move it to a church woodlot. We may move this wood when the Talking Talons crew is available to work with us.

Meet at 8 am at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Ranger Station on Wed., April 24. 

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

Please email me if you have questions.
