Hello Everyone,

On Wed., July 2, the FOSM project will be bucking, splitting, and hauling the 17-inch pine that we felled recently at Pine Flat Picnic Area. We will be using chain saws, Lou's power splitter, and wheelbarrows.

If we have time, we will also fell a small dead 4-trunk tree at Tree Spring Trailhead, buck it, and load it on Mike Oliver's trailer.

Meet at 8 am at the FOSM Guard Station behind the ranger station.

Bring or wear the usual PPE — chaps, hard hat, work gloves, long sleeved shirt, eye and ear protection, boots with slip-resistant soles, and long pants.

Bring snatches, drinks, and lunch.

If you have questions, please email me.
