[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Project to fell dead white firs, Wed., 4-17-19

[DAN BENTON via Volunteers_fosm]

Hello Everyone,
 
On Wednesday, April 17, FOSM volunteers will be felling hazard trees at the Ski Area Overflow parking lot along the north side of the Crest Highway where the large pile of dirt is located.
 
Kerry Wood, SRD Trails and Wilderness Program Manager, said that there are so many dead white firs that he did not mark any.  There is also a large pile of a trunk and branches from the upper half of a broken 34-inch pine tree that we will limb and pile for chipping.
 
Meet at 8:30 am at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Sandia Ranger Station.  With seasonal fire fighters now reporting for duty, Kerry Wood has asked that volunteers leave their vehicles in the main parking lot in front of the Ranger Station.  This opens up parking for the seasonals, who are at work all week and often training on the roads behind the Ranger Station.  This is a courtesy to them and provides safety for the seasonals and volunteers.
 
Dress warmly and bring work gloves, lunch, snacks, drinks, hard hats and eye and ear protection. Wear long pants, long-sleeve shirts, and sturdy boots with slip-resistant soles. Sawyers must wear chaps and 8-inch high leather boots. Anyone working near the sawyers must also wear protective chaps.
 
To help us with planning, send me a new email (not a reply to this one) at samgbeard at msn.com, if you plan to work on this project.
 
Sam Beard, Projects Chair
